Bolton will hand a late fitness test to captain Darren Pratley ahead of their clash with Millwall in the Championship on Tuesday.
The midfielder is a doubt because of nerve injury that is undergoing treatment. Filipe Morais is back in contention having been absent with a knock, but a hamstring injury rules out Jan Kirchhoff.
Wanderers have lost their last three games and sit just two points above the relegation zone.
Millwall's only absentee is Byron Webster, who will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury. Manager Neil Harris is therefore expected to make few changes from the team that beat Bristol City on Saturday and moved within a point of the play-off places.
Should Harris look to rotate, Fred Onyedinma could come into contention while Aiden O'Brien and Jason Shackell are also pushing for starts. The Lions have not lost in the league since New Year's Day and have won six of their last seven away games in the Championship.
Bolton have won 10 of their last 11 home league matches against the Lions (D1), winning each of the last three in a row.
Millwall have drawn three and lost five of their last eight league meetings with the Trotters, drawing 1-1 earlier this season.
Bolton haven't lost four consecutive league games since a run of eight back in September.
Only Fulham (19) are on a current longer unbeaten run in English league football than Millwall (15, W10 D5).
The Trotters have won 72% of their Championship points this season in home games (28/39), the highest ratio in the division.
Millwall have used just 24 different players in the Championship this season, fewer than any other side.
Bolton are right back in trouble. It shouldn't be forgotten, however, that there was a stage in the Autumn when everyone had written them off entirely, so for them to be outside the relegation zone at this stage with a good chance of survival is almost remarkable in itself.
Millwall, meanwhile, look relentless. Their run since the turn of the year has been incredible and it's hard to see them losing a game. Bolton, however, will be desperate for at least a point, and I reckon they'll get one.
David Prutton predicts: 1-1 (5/1 with Sky Bet)
