Bolton Wanderers injury update on Bakayoko, Amaechi and Brockbank ahead of Stockport County

Bolton Wanderers have been given an injury boost ahead of their FA Cup clash with Stockport County after Amadou Bakayoko came through training unscathed.

The Wanderers attacker has been out since coming off injured in the draw against Gillingham with an ankle injury.

He missed last weekend's loss on the road to Portsmouth, but has joined in with training ahead of this weekend's first round FA Cup clash against the Hatters.

The former Coventry City man is back available for selection once again, while Harry Brockbank and Josh Sheehan are carrying knocks but are thought to be okay to feature this weekend.

And Hamburg loanee Xavier Amaechi is back in full training now in another boost for Evatt's side as the Bolton boss looks ahead to a Greater Manchester derby this weekend.

The Bolton boss said: “It’s good news really. There’s not a great deal going on on that front. Bakayoko joined in today and he’s okay. Amaechi joined in fully for the first time today and he’s okay.

“Harry’s got a bit of a tight calf but it’s nothing major there, and Josh Sheehan has a bit of a sore back after Tuesday, but again there’s nothing major there, just precaution more than anything else.

“We’re getting there.

“Full tilt, really. No other approach. Build on what was good on Tuesday night and try and win another game.

“Cup matches are important to us financially, obviously to build momentum. We’ve got quite a few home games coming up and what looks like winnable fixtures and we want to make hay really.

"We’ve struggled in October and we’re off the back of that now and we’ve put that to bed on Tuesday night and now we have to focus on a good November.”
