Team News: Bad news for Chris Forino as he joins the defensive ranks out

Luca Stephenson and Lewis Brunt remain on course to return after the international break, with the former having been out since the opening day, and the latter since the loss at Millwall. Both players are recovering from hamstring injuries.

Chris Forino, who missed last week's win over Cardiff City after feeling an issue in training, will also not be available again this week.

The central defender, who has arguably been Bolton's best player so far this season, has failed to recover from the groin injury in time. Forino has not trained this week, but will hopefully be able to get back to full fitness in the three week break.

Jayden Nelson had a minor muscular issue this week, but will be available on Sunday, if only from the bench at worst case.

Wanderers now head down to Norfolk, hoping to pick up points somewhere they have struggled in the past. Statistics suggest, with both team's defence, that goals could be on the cards as Steven Schumacher's team look to enter the break on a high.

Norwich City and Philippe Clement are also expected to be without three players for the visit of Wanderers on Sunday.

Ali Ahmed will not be available as he continues to rehab from a ligament injury, the player will likely be involved with the development side during the international break.

Lucien Mahovo and Mirko Topic have been on grass this week but are well short of match fitness and unlikely to be involved as their recovery from injury continues into the three week break.
