Bolton Wanderers lineup vs Walsall confirmed: one change as Antoni Sarcevic out injured

Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has made one change to his side for today's clash against Walsall.

Wanderers are back at home today at the University of Bolton Stadium aiming to extend their 11 match unbeaten run.

Bolton have won nine games in that time and sit sixth in the table heading into today's encounter against the Saddlers.

The Trotters will be without skipper Antoni Sarcevic today after the midfielder suffered what has proved to be a torn hamstring in the win last weekend against Port Vale.

It means Evatt has been forced to name a replacement for his skipper on the pitch today and there is one change in total.

Matt Gilks keeps his place as goalkeeper while the back four is unchanged.

It will line up as Gethin Jones, Ricardo Almeida Santos, Alex Baptiste and Declan John.

In central midfield, MJ Williams and Kieran Lee continue as the duo in the centre of the park.

And Sarcevic's replacement today is Lloyd Isgrove, who came on for the Bolton captain when he had to come off injured against the Valiants last weekend.

He plays alongside Oladapo Afolayan and Nathan Delfouneso, with Eoin Doyle in the number nine role.

On the bench today for Bolton are Marcus Maddison, Andrew Tutte, Shaun Miller, Harry Brockbank, Arthur Gnahoua, George Thomason and Azck Elbouzedi.
