Bolton wait on Davies and Diouf

Bolton manager Sam Allardyce is monitoring the fitness of Kevin Davies and El-Hadji Diouf ahead of the match against Birmingham on Monday.

Davies was forced off during the victory over Tottenham after suffering some discomfort with a rib injury.

Diouf, meanwhile, was forced to pull out of Senegal’s friendly with South Africa after picking up a knock in the same Barclays Premiership match.

Henrik Pedersen could return after an Achilles problem as Bolton aim for their sixth successive victory in all competitions.

Provisional squad: Jaaskelainen, O’Brien, N’Gotty, Ben Haim, Gardner, Pedersen, Nakata, Faye, Speed, Giannakopoulos, Davies, Nolan, Walker, Jaidi, Borgetti, Okocha, Diouf, Vaz Te.
