Bolton Wanderers return to action for the first time since Fabrice Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest with a Premier League clash against Blackburn Rovers.

Bolton Wanderers will take to the field for the first time since Fabrice Muamba's cardiac arrest as they prepare to host Blackburn Rovers at the Reebok Stadium.

Trotters boss Owen Coyle has claimed that he will not include players that do not feel ready to return to action after 23-year-old Muamba collapsed at White Hart Lane last Saturday.

The Scottish boss could start former Liverpool striker David N'Gog up front, with Nigel Reo-Coker and Mark Davies in midfield.

Meanwhile, Blackburn manager Steve Kean will be buoyed by his side's 2-0 win over Sunderland on Tuesday, which means that mid-week goalscorers Yakubu and Junior Hoilett should retain their spots in the starting XI at the Reebok.

Current form:

Bolton: LLWLLW
Blackburn: LWLDWW

Possible lineups:

Bolton: Bogdan; Steinsson, Ricketts, Wheater, Ream; Petrov, Reo-Coker, M Davies, Pratley; Miyaichi, N'Gog

Blackburn: Robinson; Mn Olsson, Dann, Hanley, Formica; N'Zonzi, Pedersen, Ms Olsson, Lowe; Yakubu, Hoilett

Sports Mole says: 1-1
