Bolton trio Jason Lowe, Craig Noone and David Wheater will all return to contention after suspension for the home game against Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday (kick-off 8pm).

Lowe has served a two-match suspension for reaching 10 yellow cards, while fellow midfielder Noone and defender Wheater both missed out at the weekend due to one-game bans.

Boss Phil Parkinson has reported no major new injury concerns following Saturday's home win against Millwall. Forward Clayton Donaldson and midfielder Luca Connell are both pushing for recalls after dropping to the bench on Saturday.

Sheffield Wednesday striker Steven Fletcher is doubtful due to a foot injury sustained in Saturday's draw at Derby. Fletcher was withdrawn just before the hour mark, but boss Steve Bruce remains hopeful the Scot will prove his fitness.

Fernando Forestieri missed out at the weekend due to a hamstring strain and fellow forward Gary Hooper (groin) is still out having not featured for over a year. Newcastle loanee Achraf Lazaar remains sidelined after missing the last two games due to a hamstring problem.
