    Image: Sammy Ameobi could start for Bolton

    Bolton pair Sammy Ameobi and Will Buckley could feature against Sheffield United after successful returns to action in midweek.

    Midfielder Ameobi played for over an hour of the 1-0 win against Birmingham on Wednesday after overcoming a hip injury. Buckley was also fit enough to feature as a second-half substitute after a thigh problem.

    Summer signing Erhun Otzumer will again be in contention after making his first league start against Blues.
