Apparently Stuart Holden's injury isn't just going to affect Bolton Wanderers, but the Houston Dynamo and a charity as well. According to Dustyn Richardson the Dynamo had been in discussions with Bolton to play a friendly for charity this summer when Bolton was in the United States as part of their preseason training. Now that Holden has suffered a gruesome knee injury that required 26 stitches, surgery and will keep him out six months though the Dynamo have backed out of negotiations to bring the English club to Houston for the friendly though.
Stuart Holden Injury Ends Possible Bolton Vs. Houston Dynamo Friendly
Holden is a Texas native who spent four seasons with the Dynamo where he was a part of two MLS Cup winning sides. Following the departure of Dwayne De Rosario to Toronto FC, Holden became a focal point in the Dynamo attack and his reputation grew along with his strong play. His success with the Dynamo resulted in him being called into the United States team and he garnered interest abroad, eventually leading to his signing with Bolton.
Since joining Bolton, Holden has suffered two serious injuries. A broken leg delayed his start with the club and his current knee injury puts a halt to a good run of form that has made him one of Bolton’s best players this season. Not only will his injury put an end to his season with Bolton, it appears to have put a halt to a possible friendly. While the charity that the match would benefit is unknown, it is possible that it would have been Holden’s Heroes, a charity that Holden runs and has remained active in the Houston area even after he left to play with Bolton.
