Bolton Wanderers midfielder Darren Pratley will miss between six and eight weeks because of a torn hamstring.

The 29-year-old, who has scored five times in 27 matches this season, limped off during Saturday's draw with Wolves.

Pratley has been virtually ever-present since Neil Lennon took over as manager, guiding the Trotters from bottom of the Championship to 14th, in just 17 games.

Gutted.  Lets hope he comes back the same player.  Only 6 to 8 weeks but lay on the treatment table next to mavies might rub off on him

I had just finally given in to the fact that Pratley was doing a decent job for us, such an engine, never gives up. Cant believe in admitting it but in disappointed he is out of action. Might struggle without him tomorrow.

so lee, mavies and prats all cant play and all were part of the men on turn around in key ways.

I guess "men on" was a Freudian slip and you meant Lennon?

Pratley has probably made the biggest contribution to the improved results now that Lennon's system has given him support - he isn't pressing alone anymore so he isn't made to look stupid and when we have possession he can get forward and provide a goal threat. In the League, one of the new lads can fill in for him but there's no cover for the Cup - not that it's likely to be an issue after tonight despite the fact I hope we beat them.

Wondering what sort of reception Sturridge will get?

The question is the reception Sturridge gets when he scores twice against us tonight.  We will miss the beef with Pratley and Heskey out.  As Nat would say, lightweights on the pitch and we have no speedsters like Sturridge nor defenders who can keep up with him.  It was much better having him on our side... scoring almost at will.

Is Mills going to be fit?  I thought he did very well restricting Sterling in the 1st match.  Problem is he can't man mark sterling AND Sturridge

we need Ream in at centre back as he's the only one with a bit of pace. If Sturridge and Sterling start i fear it may be a long night

Doubt Sturridge will start, he'll probably come on when Liverpool are chasing an equaliser. Smile
