TEAM NEWS

Nathan Jones revealed the returning Chuks Aneke had come through Tuesday's substitute appearance against Lincoln City with no fresh injury concerns.

While Michael Hector (hamstring) and Miles Leaburn (hamstring) remain out, the club will assess Kayne Ramsay, who was substituted on Tuesday with a stiff hamstring, ahead of the game. 

The hosts will be without Dion Charles (knee), who is set to miss two-to-three weeks after being forced off on Tuesday. Charles joins injured duo Nathan Baxter (wrist), Ricardo Almeida Santos (calf) and Randell Williams (hamstring), as well as the suspended George Thomason, on the sidelines.

THE OPPOSITION

Ian Evatt’s side currently sit third in the Sky Bet League One rankings, albeit the Wanderers have three games in hand over Portsmouth who sit top of the table.

Having tasted defeat in just one of their previous 10 league encounters, Bolton extended the unbeaten streak to five games in the third tier on Tuesday, securing a 2-1 triumph at home to Wycombe Wanderers.
