Okocha set for return

Nigerian playmaker Jay-Jay Okocha is expected to return to the Bolton team to face West Brom following a groin injury.

Okocha has resumed training after sitting out the 1-1 draw against Birmingham last weekend.

On-loan El-Hadji Diouf may have to settle for a place on the bench should Okocha return.

Manager Sam Allardyce has a full-strength squad available apart from long-term injury victim Florent Laville, who is making steady progress.

PROVISIONAL SQUAD: Jaaskelainen, Hunt, Jaidi, N’Gotty, Gardner, Okocha, Campo, Speed, Nolan, Pedersen, Davies, Diouf, Poole, Giannakopoulos, Ferdinand, Barness, Hierro, Cesar.
