An unfortunate start for Bolton's trip to Old Trafford saw The Wanderers chasing for the rest of the afternoon.

A roundup of news about Bolton Wanderers players who have been on international duty this week.

Bolton's Lee Chong–yong assisted Ki Sung-yong in getting on the score sheet in the friendly against Senegal in Seoul. Celtic's Sung–yong took South Korea ahead with a shot from 20 metres a few minutes before half–time.

A brief summary of each Bolton Wanderers player who has been on international duty this weekend.

Fabrice Muamba came on for Peterborough United's Danny Rose with 20 minutes to go. Unfortunately Muamba's most notable contribution seems to be that he may have injured Micah Richards when he collided with the Manchester City defender.

While Gary Cahill joins England for their World Cup qualifier against Ukraine we look at which other Bolton Wanderers team members are on international duty.

Jlloyd Samuel was meant to be playing for Trinidad and Tobago but once again he has had to miss out. There is a farce that surrounds Samuel's non–involvement with the Soca Warriors.

Bolton Wanderers went ahead twice but a determined Tottenham Hotspurs fought back to earn a point in what was a highly entertaining match.

Jussi Jasskelainen has been with The Wanderers since 1997 when he was signed from Finnish club Vaasan Palloseura by Colin Todd for £100,000. Since then he has proved to be a great ball stopper and has made over 400 appearances for The Wanderers. This Saturday sees Bolton take on Hibs, this fixture is being billed as Jaaskelainenn's testimonial match — a celebration of Jussi's greatness.

This coming Saturday is set to be best pre-season friendly (and fun day) ever, in my opinion. Not only do Bolton Wanderers take on Scottish Premier League side Hibernian Football Club at The Reebok Stadium but there is a 'Legends Match' too.

Bolton Wanderers verses Hibernian is being billed as Jussi Jaaskelainen's testimonial.

"I don't have anyone famous in my phone – just my team-mates."

Jussi Jasskelainen's recent interview with The Guardian's Rob Smyth reveals what we already knew about BWFC goalkeeper and that is that he is an utterly likeable fella.

The only shock that Jussi revealed was a dubious taste in music, admitting to recently buying the chart's top 20 (he also mentions Justin Timberlake).

The home side Finland know that a victory over Euro 2008 semi-finalists Russia will take them into the crucial second spot in group four. The two teams look likely to be battling it out for second spot, with European heavyweights Germany top of the group and seemingly all but qualified for the finals.
