Full Bolton Wanderers injury list and expected return dates as MJ Williams boost emerges

Bolton Wanderers' injury struggles appear to be easing with news that key midfielder MJ Williams is poised to be involved this Saturday against Accrington Stanley.

The holding midfielder has been out with a dislocated shoulder sustained in the 1-0 loss to Wycombe Wanderers last month.

The former Liverpool trainee however has recently returned to training but he will not be involved for Wanderers against Fleetwood Town this evening.

But Ian Evatt has confirmed that Williams could well be involved against Stanley at the weekend, while there is also optimism in defender Harry Brockbank's recovery from a partially torn Achilles.

Evatt said: “MJ’s joined in training, which is great. It’s just seeing how his shoulder feels and seeing if we can build some confidence in that, but he’s came through fine which is good news. He won’t be available tomorrow but certainly could be for Saturday.

“Harry Brockbank returns to training on Thursday, which is also good, so light at the end of the tunnel is the correct phrase!”

With that in mind, here's a list of all the injuries in the Wanderers first team squad and when they are expected to return from injury.
