Posted Friday, December 18, 2015 by PA
Bolton will give Josh Vela a late fitness test prior to Fulham's visit.
The midfielder avoided any serious damage to his knee after coming off on a stretcher against Charlton on Tuesday and could even feature four days later for bottom-of-the-table Wanderers.
Zach Clough played 89 minutes on his return from a shoulder injury on Tuesday and the striker should start again after a couple of days' rest.
Neil Lennon has no new injury or suspension concerns, although Wellington Silva (hamstring) and Max Clayton (ankle) are long-term absentees.
Fulham hope to have midfielder Scott Parker back in contention.
The 35-year-old has resumed training after missing the midweek defeat to Ipswich as a precaution following his return to fitness from an ankle injury.
The Cottagers are still searching for a new manager and are without a win in six matches, with senior coach Stuart Gray again set to be in charge of the first-team at the Macron Stadium.
Defender Jack Grimmer has stepped up his recovery from an ankle injury, but midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe (hamstring) remains sidelined.
