The former Wigan attacker was out for five matches after damaging his ankle at Blackpool last month.

However, he returns at the Trotters, coming in for Kusini Yengi as one of two changes to the team which beat Shrewsbury.

Joe Rafferty is recalled at right-back, with Zak Swanson, who started against the Shrews, not in the squad.
