Bolton have been struck down by a virus ahead of their Championship clash with Millwall on Saturday.
Many Wanderers players were left out of the side’s 2-1 Carabao Cup win in midweek due to illness.
It is another blow for Phil Parkinson, who will already be without injured trio Sammy Ameobi, David Wheater and Josh Vela.

One player who could make his first league appearance of the season is Bolton captain Darren Pratley, who missed last weekend’s season opener with a virus.
He returned against Crewe in the cup on Wednesday evening, and played for an hour.
Bolton boss Parkinson said: “It was pre-planned to take him off because he’d missed the whole of last week and still wasn’t quite himself.”
