Peter Kioso and Arthur Gnahoua have been ruled out of tomorrow's home game with Tranmere Rovers, but Harry Brockbank is set to return to the squad.
Gnahoua is facing at least six weeks on the sidelines after dislocating his shoulder against Walsall within minutes of coming off the bench, while Kioso is struggling to shake of a shoulder injury he sustained in the same game.
But there is good news for Brockbank, who is available after being sidelined for over six weeks with a hamstring injury, while midfielder Andrew Tutte (thigh), is ready to hand Bolton a Boxing Day fitness boost.
"Arthur dislocated his shoulder and it went back in straight away. He'll be out for a period of time, probably six to eight weeks," confirmed Wanderers manager Ian Evatt at this morning's press conference.
"Peter we were hoping that he would settle and recover a little bit better than he has. We tried to give him a pain-killing injection yesterday and for him to train with it to see how he responds, however it's still no good so he won't be available on Saturday.
"It's unfortunate. Arthur is obviously out.
"But Harry is back. He was close to being involved on Tuesday but he's recovered great, he's training well so he'll be back involved on Saturday."
Of Tutte's progress, Evatt added: "He's back on the grass already, he's due to join in training with us again on Monday so he'll be back for Carlisle."
