Millwall vs Bolton preview - Shittu set for Bolton reunion

Posted Thursday, December 18, 2014 by PA

Danny Shittu will line up against his former club when Bolton visit The Den.

The veteran defender, who cost Wanderers B£2million when he joined from Watford six years ago, was recalled to the starting line-up at Brighton last Friday night and skippered the Lions to only their second win in 16 attempts.

Winger Lee Martin could miss out again with a toe injury, meaning boss Ian Holloway may opt to stick with the side which ran out 1-0 winners at The Amex.

Midfielder Nicky Bailey is still building up his fitness after a calf problem and full-back Carlos Edwards is recovering from cruciate ligament damage.

Bolton's attacking options for the trip are limited following the news that Max Clayton's season is over.

The 20-year-old has torn his anterior cruciate ligament, while Craig Davies is still not ready to return from a hamstring injury and loanee Joe Mason is a long-term absentee because of a hamstring strain.

That means either former Millwall trainee Conor Wilkinson or 36-year-old veteran Eidur Gudjohnsen will get the nod in attack.

Kevin McNaughton is still missing due to a hamstring strain, while Mark Davies (knee) and Marc Tierney (ankle) are long-term absentees.
