Bolton will be without Gavin McCann, Ivan Klasnic and Stuart Holden when Fulham visit the Reebok Stadium on Saturday.
Wanderers have been rocked by the news that Klasnic is facing a month on the sidelines with a calf problem so Johan Elmander looks set to get a start as Owen Coyle switches back to a 4-4-2 formation.
Elsewhere, McCann is again missing with an ankle injury while new signing Stuart Holden is making good progress from a thigh injury but the game against the Cottagers will come too soon.
Fellow new signings Jack Wilshere and Vladimir Weiss are pushing for starts but may have to settle for the bench as the Trotters look for a crucial three points.
