Knight set for Fulham clash

Zat Knight is in line to face his old club Fulham in Bolton’s opening Barclays Premier League match after recovering from a hip problem.

Knight sat out last week’s friendly against Osasuna but is available to play against his former employers in Saturday’s fixture at the Reebok Stadium.

New signing Martin Petrov has impressed in pre-season and is set to make his debut as part of the starting XI selected by manager Owen Coyle, who has a fully-fit squad to choose from.

Provisional squad: Jaaskelainen, Knight, Ricketts, Cahill, Robinson, Muamba, Lee, M Davies, Taylor, Cohen, Petrov, K Davies, Elmander, Klasnic, Blake, Samuel, A O’Brien, Steinsson, Riga, Holden, Shittu, Davis, J O’Brien, Alonso, Gardner, Bogdan.
