Bolton Wanderers lineup vs Cambridge United confirmed as Kieran Lee decision made

Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has made one change from the side which demolished Sunderland over the weekend for this evening's clash against Cambridge United.

Wanderers can leapfrog today's opponents - who they suffered a 1-0 defeat against in Cambridge earlier in the season - with three points, which would in turn see them sneak into the top half of the table.

Bolton head into the game on the back of a dismantling Sunderland 6-0 over the weekend and ordinarily, the instinct might be to name the same team which started that encounter.

Evatt explained that before tha game might not be the case due to management of knocks in his squad and the fast nature of the fixtures which are coming up over the course of the next month which sees Wanderers in action on Saturday and Tuesday for the rest of February.

And he has opted to make one change from the side that convincingly beat the Black Cats a few days ago, though late deadline day signing Kyle Dempsey is not involved as he was not registered in time to play this evening.

James Trafford remains as goalkeeper, while Evatt has named a back four of Gethin Jones, Ricardo Almeida Santos, George Johnston and Declan John.

MJ Williams and Aaron Morley both start again, with Marlon Fossey potentially on the right of a midfield three.

Dion Charles is due to play through the middle, with Dapo Afolayan on the left and Amadou Bakayoko recalled and playing on the right flank.

On the bench this evening for Wanderers are Joel Dixon, Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Will Aimson, Kieran Sadlier, George Thomason, Alex Baptiste and Liam Gordon, with Kieran Lee not in the matchday squad.
