Bolton Wanderers midfielder Lee Chung-Yong is reportedly close to returning to action with the club.
The 23-year-old suffered a double leg-break in pre-season, and was not expected to return until the next campaign.
However, he will play in a friendly match on Friday, according to The Mirror, and could figure in the Premier League before the end of the season.
Bolton currently sit 18th in the Premier League table.
