Wanderers face another tough test at Wrexham as the League One play-off race continues to hot up.
Steven Schumacher’s side are only outside the top six on goal difference as they prepare to head over the border.
The Whites have won five of their last six league games following last weekend’s entertaining comeback against Leyton Orient.
Team news
Victor Adeboyejo could face surgery on knee ligament damage after limping off during the final stages against Orient.
The ex-Burton man is seeking advice from a specialist to see whether he will need an operation to repair the damage but it is not in contention for a place in the squad at Wrexham.
Eoin Toal is back available but Gethin Jones remains a doubt after taking a knock to the ribs against Shrewsbury.
Kyle Dempsey has joined in non-contact training, while Chris Forino and Carlos Mendes Gomes both featured for the B Team in midweek.
The hosts are likely to make a plethora of changes from midweek after utilising their squad depth in the Vertu Trophy.
Opposition lowdown
Wrexham suffered penalty shoot-out heartbreak against Peterborough on Wednesday night, letting a 2-0 lead slip to miss out on a Wembley final against Birmingham.
Phil Parkinson’s side have won three of their last four league matches, including victory at Mansfield last weekend.
The Red Dragons currently sit third in the table and three points off second-place Wycombe heading towards the business stage of the season.
Head-to-head
Wanderers have faced Wrexham 14 times in competitive fixtures, with a record of eight wins, two draws and four defeats.
The Welsh outfit secured a narrow victory in the Vertu Trophy quarter-final a fortnight ago, with Andy Cannon getting the decisive goal 20 minutes from time.
The points were shared when the sides met in the league at the start of the season following a goalless draw at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.
Bolton’s last win at Wrexham was in May 1988 when Robbie Savage’s goal clinched promotion to the old Division Three.
