Gardner to miss Boro clash

Jamaica international Ricardo Gardner has been ruled out of Bolton’s home match against Middlesbrough tomorrow because of a knee problem.

However, French defender Bruno N’Gotty returns to the squad following a groin injury.

Club captain Kevin Nolan remains doubtful after a rib injury forced the midfielder to miss the defeat at Tottenham.

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