Owen Coyle says that Bolton must focus on their Premier League clash with Blackburn but admits that they are more concerned with Fabrice Muamba's recovery.

Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has admitted that this weekend's clash with Blackburn Rovers will be "difficult" as the club continue to focus on Fabrice Muamba's recovery.

The Premier League side return to action for the first time since the 23-year-old midfielder suffered a cardiac arrest during Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspur.

"You don't move on because all the thoughts are with Fabrice and that goes without saying," Coyle said in a press conference.

"We have a game to play on Saturday but there's no doubt that the first thing we'll think about is Fabrice. But we have to go and play the game and we'll do it to our best abilities.

"Will it be difficult? Absolutely. The thoughts are with Fabrice to make sure he continues that recovery."

The former England Under-21 international remains in intensive care in the London Chest Hospital but has made significant improvements this week.
