Loan star Sturridge back for Bolton

Striker Daniel Sturridge returns to the Bolton squad for Sunday’s Barclays Premier League clash with Arsenal at the Reebok Stadium.

The on-loan Chelsea player was cup-tied for last weekend’s 5-0 defeat by Stoke in the FA Cup semi-final but is expected to go straight back into the starting line-up.

Mark Davies is also in contention for a starting spot after recovering from an ankle injury but Sam Ricketts (Achilles), Sean Davis and Stuart Holden (knee) are long-term absentees.

Provisional squad: Jaaskelainen, Robinson, Cahill, Wheater, Knight, Muamba, M Davies, Gardner, Petrov, K Davies, Elmander, Klasnic, Taylor, Alonso, Rodrigo, Cohen, Steinsson, Blake, Lee, Bogdan, Sturridge.
