JUSSI Jaaskelainen will be ready and waiting for his Wanderers team-mates in August.
The Reebok keeper, whose serious knee injury brought his season to a premature end in January, has come through his first full training session - just four months after undergoing major knee surgery in the United States.
The Mighty Finn is the second Bolton player to make a high speed recovery from cruciate ligament damage after attending the famous Steadman Hawkins Clinic in Colorado, following Ricardo Gardner, who was back in first team action within seven months and returned as strong as ever.
Jaaskelainen set himself no targets when he began his rehabilitation but it was always hoped that he would be back in the reckoning for the start of next season.
