Johnston, 26, has made 37 appearances in all competitions so far this season, 27 of which have come in League One. The Trotters have to assess him now as they prepare to face Leyton Orient at home this weekend.
According to a story by The Bolton News, Schumacher stated: “I took the decision away from him at halftime since we had considered switching Alex Murphy for Jordi otherwise. Since Jonno is a bit of a warrior, he wanted to continue being Jonno.
He believes it’s okay, but we removed him on physiotherapist Matt Barrass’s suggestion and will monitor the situation. I’m hoping it’s nothing major.
Bolton Wanderers will hope that Johnston is fine to face Leyton Orient.
He is an important player for the Trotters and boosts their defensive ranks.
