Bolton will be without at least two regular players when they face Town on April 6th. Bolton's relegation battle was dealt a big blow when they lost two key central defenders with long-term injuries at the weekend.
Both Gudni Bergsson (knee ligaments) and Mike Whitlow (ankle ligaments) could be out for the entire season and are certain to be spectators against Town.
Contrary to reports yesterday keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen is likely to be back from suspension by the time the Blues travel to the Reebok. The Finn was sent off for a professional foul at the weekend and Wanderers expect his two game ban to cover their Aston Villa and Everton matches.
Town may also face a Chelsea without Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. He will appeal a three match suspension for an elbow on Southampton's Claus Lundekvam today.
