Newcastle Defender Steven Taylor has declared himself fit to face Bolton at St James' Park on Saturday after withdrawing from the England Under 21 International side as a precaution. Taylor who suffered a knock to the ankle after colliding with Darren Fletcher in Newcastle's 1-1 draw against Manchester United on Sunday has confirmed he will return to training in the next few days.
He said:
"I saw the England club doctor and, after he had examined my ankle, we both agreed that it would be too risky to play against Slovenia.
I had a scan on my ankle and there's nothing broken or anything like that. I should be back in training in the next couple of days and I'll be ready for Bolton."
