Bolton Wanderers vs Watford preview - Mills boon for Bolton

Posted Friday, February 13, 2015 by PA

Matt Mills could return for Bolton's clash with Watford but boss Neil Lennon still has a substantial injury list.

Wanderers were missing eight first-team players for the victory over Fulham in midweek but centre-half Mills is back in training following a knee injury.

Emile Heskey and fellow forward Craig Davies (both hamstring) are more likely to return for next Saturday's trip to Nottingham Forest.

That still leaves Mark Davies (knee), Darren Pratley (hamstring), Adam Bogdan (ankle), Max Clayton (knee) and Liam Trotter (thigh) on the sidelines.

Watford will hand a late fitness test to Gianni Munari.

The Italian missed Tuesday night's dramatic 2-1 win at Brentford with a foot injury but returned to training on Thursday and will be assessed ahead of kick-off.

Fellow midfielder Sean Murray is the only definite absentee as he continues his recovery from a knee operation.

In-form striker Odion Ighalo leads the line again after his double against Brentford made it 11 goals in his last seven league outings.
