Port Vale poised to make two signings ahead of Bolton Wanderers as injury update on duo given

Port Vale could have a couple of new signings in their squad ahead of taking on Bolton Wanderers this weekend.

Wanderers make the trip to Vale Park aiming to build on their good start to the season which has them third in the table after their opening two League One fixtures. The Valiants meanwhile sit 17th with three points on the board.

The Burslem outfit are poised to land a couple of new reinforcements prior to the visit of Wanderers this Saturday. It will include a new centre forward.

Speaking to StokeOnTrentLive after the loss to Rotherham United, Clarke said: “We hopefully have a couple of bodies coming tomorrow, that is going to give us a bit more experience of the division and know how. That will be a big boost to what I think is a really good group.

“So, we will keep our confidence, we will keep the mental side of things and we will keep focused as a group, as staff and as a set of players to make sure we keep progressing.”

“Centre forward is obviously a key area for us and hopefully that will go through tomorrow.”

One player who will not be involved against Bolton is last season's top scorer James Wilson, who is still a few weeks away from an injury return. There is the potential for Dave Worrall to return from a problem picked up in training last week.

Clarke added: “Wilson will be a few weeks, Worrall hopefully not too long. We will see how it goes. I have a great medical team here and they will get them back as quickly as they can.”
