Aston Villa will be without skipper Stiliyan Petrov and defender Habib Beye through suspension for the Barclays Premier League match with Bolton.
Petrov collected his fifth booking of the campaign during the midweek defeat at West Ham - a game in which Beye was also sent off.
Nigel Reo-Coker will be a strong candidate to replace Petrov after impressing as a substitute against his former club while right-back Carlos Cuellar will return after a one-game ban and is likely to take over from Beye.
Striker Emile Heskey (back), wide player James Milner (calf) and midfielder Craig Gardner (groin) are major doubts for the meeting with the Trotters.

Another one of martin o'neill's tales of woe and despair.He comes out with a list of injuries as long as his arm each time Villa have a match but come Saturday a miracle occurs and he has a fully fit squad.Must have something in the water in Brum, perhaps he could send some of his miracle cure to Rafa god only knows he needs it!
