WANDERERS have been handed a massive boost ahead of their meeting with Everton on Sunday with the news that in-form striker Louis Saha is almost certain to miss the game for the Blues.
The Frenchman – who has netted eight goals in his previous six games, including four in a 5-3 victory over Blackpool last weekend – was down to spearhead his side’s attack at the Reebok but could now miss the next month of Premier League games with a hamstring injury sustained in training.
A rumour that had been sweeping the blue half of Merseyside last night was confirmed as The Bolton News went to press, leaving David Moyes without both Saha and Jack Rodwell for the trip to face the Whites.
Jermaine Beckford, who scored a last-gasp equaliser in the game between the two sides at Goodison Park in November, is likely to take Saha’s place up front, with goal threat Tim Cahill also reinstated to the squad after returning from duty at the Asia Cup with Australia.
