Ben Amos and David Wheater missing for Bolton's replay

Bolton will be without goalkeeper Ben Amos and defender David Wheater for their FA Cup replay with Eastleigh.

Amos will serve a one-match suspension following his dismissal against Nottingham Forest at the weekend, meaning Paul Rachubka will line up between the sticks and make his first start since playing for Crewe last May.

Wheater is facing six weeks out of action because of a hamstring injury so former Real Madrid trainee Derik Osede or Prince Gouano should come back into the middle of defence.

Zach Clough (hip) is doubtful and both Emile Heskey (calf) and Max Clayton (hamstring) are out, while Shola Ameobi could play his last game before his contract, which will not be renewed, expires.

Eastleigh forward Yemi Odubade will be absent for the replay - and up to six weeks - with a hamstring injury sustained in the sides' original meeting.

The Spitfires head to the Macron Stadium off the back of a disappointing 2-1 FA Trophy exit at the hands of Vanarama National League rivals Gateshead.

Jamie Turley impressed in the Silverlake Stadium encounter as the defender made his return from long-term injury, while Kaid Mohamed comes into contention having been cup-tied for Saturday's match.

Dan Harding is likely to come back into the starting line-up after coming on as a second-half substitute against the Heed, as is Jai Reason after being left on the bench.
