Bolton manager Owen Coyle is hoping striker Daniel Sturridge will have recovered from an ankle knock in time for Tuesday's Barclays Premier League trip to Fulham.
The on-loan Chelsea man scored his seventh goal in nine games in Sunday's 2-1 win over Arsenal but was forced off with the problem late in the game.
That would be a real kick in the teeth for fantasy managers. His ownership percentage jumped from 4% to 9% for this double week so clearly a lot of us have gotten on the bandwagon. However, 90% of teams don't have him - and points is points - so we're hopeful he'll play.
Meanwhile Zamora should be back for Fulham. Stoke lose Fuller but could get Carew back. And of course, SEB is a doubt for Wolves.
Update from Owen Coyle via BWFC.co.uk:
"Daniel Sturridge limped off near the end and we will give him until the last minute to see if he is available, and hopefully he is.
"Fingers crossed we will have the same squad, with 21 players in contention given that Ricardo Gardner, Robbie Blake and Marcos Alonso narrowly missed out on Sunday.
"We will look to pick the best team available."
he's already scored 11 points that i'm not happy with, so his absence will be soothing.
ReplyDeletewell maybe elmander can get the brace then.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe they'll play Marcos Alonso at striker! #keephopealive
ReplyDeleteOh man I hope he doesn't play. Would practically seal my private group if I get that break!!!
ReplyDeleteNo Carrick bashing this time? Oh yeah he played perfect game so you don't have anything to say.
ReplyDeleteElmander own goal, and red card after that...just for greginho
ReplyDeleteor maybe freakin Kevin Davies can make a penalty and not pick up a yellow card.
