Bolton striker Kevin Davies fears he may miss the rest of the season after suffering a broken hand in the win over West Ham.

The forward initially believed that he had fractured a finger during the 1-0 victory at the Reebok Stadium last Saturday.

However, further examinations have now revealed that his hand is in fact broken in three places, with the finger also fractured.

Davies would have missed Bolton's next two league fixtures through suspension anyway after picking up a tenth yellow card of the season against the Hammers, but he had hoped to be involved in the club's final two games of the campaign against Sunderland and Chelsea.

Currently sitting two points adrift of safety, Davies' presence would be a huge loss for Gary Megson's men, and the forward admits that the situation looks bleak.

"I've got three fractures and I had an operation on Tuesday," he said.

"Whether I've got a chance of getting back for the last two games is doubtful, but hopefully it heals quickly.

"I'll have it rescanned before we play Sunderland at home and maybe I could play with a cast on."
