Ian Evatt admits Bolton Wanderers will need to be 'slightly cautious' with veteran midfielder Kieran Lee after his return to action from injury but believes the former Manchester United youngster is a 'huge player' for the Whites.

The 34-year-old came through the youth team ranks at United and made three apperances for the Old Trafford club, scoring once for the club in the League Cup against Crewe Alexandra.

Lee later moved on to Oldham Athletic, before spending eight years at Hillsborough with Sheffield Wednesday. He was released by the Owls in the summer of 2020 and has been at Wanderers since January 2021.
