Team news ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash between Stoke and Bolton at the Britannia Stadium.

Stoke are waiting on the fitness of left-back Marc Wilson ahead of the game.

Wilson has had a scan on his back after being forced off with the problem at half-time during last weekend's loss to QPR, and Tony Pulis will give him until the day of the game to prove his fitness.

Defender Andy Wilkinson (groin) and winger Jermaine Pennant (hamstring) are expected to be fit while Dane Thomas Sorensen will keep his place in goal as he builds up to next month's Euro 2012 tournament.

Bolton boss Owen Coyle will assess the condition of a number of players ahead of the must-win game.

Coyle is hopeful Nigel Reo-Coker (leg) and Mark Davies (virus) will be available despite the pair missing some training sessions recently and fellow midfielder Darren Pratley (virus) could be in line for his comeback having managed to do some light work at Wanderers' Euxton complex.

Winger Lee Chung-yong, who broke his leg last summer, made a surprise return to action as a substitute in last weekend's 2-2 draw with West Brom and will once again be in the squad, but full-back Gretar Steinsson remains sidelined with a thigh problem, while centre-half David Wheater has joined the long-term casualty list after sustaining cruciate ligament damage in his right knee in the match against the Baggies.

Stoke (from): Begovic, Sorensen, Huth, Shawcross, Upson, Wilkinson, Shotton, Wilson, Woodgate, Whelan, Whitehead, Etherington, Pennant, Delap, Palacios, Jones, Jerome, Crouch, Walters, Fuller.

Bolton (from): Bogdan, Jaaskelainen, Alonso, Boyata, Knight, Ream, Ricketts, Reo-Coker, M Davies, K Davies, Klasnic, Miyaichi, Ngog, Petrov, Eagles, Tuncay, Sordell, Vela, Pratley, Lee.
