Allardyce forced to make changes

Bolton manager Sam Allardyce has a number of injury worries ahead of his side’s Barclays Premiership clash against Portsmouth at the Reebok Stadium.

Defender Ivan Campo has a broken bone in his right foot and is out for up to eight weeks, which is likely to lead to Tal Ben Haim partnering Bruno N’Gotty in the centre of defence.

Allardyce also has doubts over Jay Jay Okocha (ankle), Ricardo Vaz Te (knee), Abdoulaye Faye (groin), Radhi Jaidi and Fabrice Fernandes (both hamstring).

Team (from): Jaaskelainen, Hunt, Nolan, N’Gotty, Speed, Giannakopoulos, Pedersen, Okocha, Gardner, Davies, Nakata, Borgetti, Diouf, O’Brien, Faye, Jaidi, Fernandes, Walker.
