Muamba out for Bolton

Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba is suspended for Monday’s short trip to near-neighbours Wigan.

The England Under-21 international picked up his fifth booking of the season in Wednesday’s 3-1 victory over West Ham.

Midfielder Gavin McCann’s recovery from an ankle injury has not come quickly enough for him to be involved against Wigan but he may make the squad for Burnley on Boxing Day.

Provisional squad: Jaaskelainen, Knight, Cahill, Robinson, Steinsson, Cohen, Taylor, Gardner, Lee, K Davies, Klasnic, Basham, A O’Brien, Al Habsi, Samuel, Elmander, Ricketts.
