Defensive woe for Trotters

18 February 2011 11:30
Bolton will be without half of their first-choice back four for Sunday's FA Cup fifth-round trip to Fulham. Zat Knight is expected to miss six weeks with a knee ligament injury and boss Owen Coyle has confirmed Sam Ricketts ruptured his Achilles against Wigan on Wednesday and will be out for the rest of the season. With full-backs Gretar Steinsson and Jlloyd Samuel still sidelined, Marcos Alonso may again be asked to deputise, while in-form striker Daniel Sturridge is cup-tied.
