Bolton Wanderers have made a bright start to life in League One but manager Ian Evatt still has some of his senior first-team players unavailable.
Ahead of this weekend's game against Rotherham United, midfielder Andy Tutte has become the latest addition to the treatment table.
He suffered a torn hamstring in the midweek Central League fixture against Accrington Stanley and a scan will determine the length of time he is sidelined for.
Tutte has been on the fringes of Wanderers' team this season, with his only first-team minutes coming in the Papa John's Trophy after signing a new contract in the summer.
Elsewhere in the squad, Declan John has missed the last three matches due to non-Covid related illness.
Evatt said John was back available ahead of the trip to Ipswich Town last weekend but the left-back missed that game, with it unclear when he will be back.
Striker and summer signing Amadou Bakayoko is back in training after a calf injury he picked up in the win against Lincoln City one month ago.
He was initially expected to be back in October.
Lastly, Xavier Amaechi is also back in training after surgery on a fractured metatarsal - suffered in the pre-season friendly win over Preston North End.
His loan deal from Hamburg is poised to expire, as things stand, but it is hoped that he will be back in action before that happens.
Both Bakayoko and Ameachi are understood to be doing 'really well' in their recovery but Bolton are not putting any pressure on the duo to rush back.
