BOLTON, England (AP) -- Bolton is the latest Premier League club to be hit by swine flu.

After Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce announced on Monday that three of his players and two staff members had been diagnosed with the virus, Bolton's Gary Megson said four players and an employee were also affected.

Megson, who did not identify any of them, says it appears "near enough impossible" to avoid the virus.
