No worries for Allardyce

Bolton boss Sam Allardyce has no fresh injury worries ahead of tomorrow night’s clash against Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium.

Although Allardyce has today completed the signing of midfielder Blessing Kaku on a three-year contract from Israeli side Ashdod, the Nigerian is unavailable for the game with the Saints.

Striker El-Hadji Diouf, who last week signed on a year-long loan deal from Liverpool, is still resolving his work permit situation and is also not in contention.

Provisional squad: Poole, Barness, Santos, Nolan, N’Gotty, Speed, Giannakopoulos, Bridges, Pedersen, Okocha, Gardner, Davies, Jaidi, Campo, Hierro, Hunt, Jaaskelainen, Ferdinand, Haim Tal, Vaz Te.
