Ba bound for Bolton

Bolton Wanderers FC have received the international clearance they needed to sign former AC Milan midfield player Ibrahim Ba on a three-month deal.

Allardyce impressed
The 30-year-old former French international earned a move to the Premiership after impressing Bolton manager Sam Allardyce during a trial with the Lancashire club. "He's a fantastic acquisition to this football club," Allardyce told the club's official website. "He's proved himself in top-flight European football over the last seven or eight years and we are confident we can get the best out of him."

Leroy leaves PSG
Paris Saint-Germain FC midfield player Jérôme Leroy has signed a three-year deal with fellow Ligue 1 club EA Guingamp. "This player will bring us his experience of the top level," said Guingamp coach Bertrand Marchand. Last season Leroy played 33 games for PSG and scored five goals, but he had recently fallen out of favour with coach Vahid Halilhodzic.

Möller comeback
Andreas Möller, a former FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship winner, could make a shock comeback on Sunday for Eintracht Frankfurt against VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach. On Sunday the 36-year-old midfield player, who officially retired at the end of last season, could pull his boots on again after playing 45 minutes of a friendly against SG Egelsbach, although he is not yet match fit. "My legs are heavy," Möller admitted.

Morales missing
In Spain, meanwhile, Primera División side Club Atlético Osasuna are likely to be without striker Richard Morales for the next month because of a thigh injury. The 28-year-old Uruguayan international complained of pains in his right thigh which intensified every time he struck the ball. A scan on Thursday revealed a small tear in his right thigh muscle, which is likely to require three to four weeks' recuperation. Morales will undergo further tests on Monday, and has been instructed to rest in the meantime. The forward joins midfield player Gerardo Rivero, ruled out for up to two months with a cartilage injury, on the sidelines.

Cole worry
Charlton Athletic FC striker Carlton Cole, currently on loan from Chelsea FC, could be put of action for two weeks or more with a hip injury. The 19-year-old sustained the knock in a reserve match and will visit a specialist to discover the extent of the damage.
