Bolton Wanderers could hand a debut to summer signing Owen Beck tomorrow against Charlton Athletic.
The 20-year-old became Bolton's fifth acquisition of the transfer window yesterday as he joined from the Premier League side on loan for the campaign. He had been on loan at Portuguese side Famalicao, but that was cut short so he could join Bolton.
He follows Eoin Toal and Jack Iredale joining on permanent deals from Derry City and Cambridge United this summer. Defender and Beck's team-mate Conor Bradley has joined from Liverpool, while goalkeeper James Trafford has been signed up again from Manchester City.

The left-back has played twice for Premier League side Liverpool's first team, both of which came last season. He will now spend the campaign at Wanderers and seek to pick up more experience of men's football.
Ian Evatt is looking forward to seeing how Beck gets on at Wanderers. He believes the Anfield prospect will not need much coaching to be brought up to speed at Bolton owing to his tutelage at Liverpool.
Evatt said: “If they fit culturally, they come into our salary bracket, and we think we’re going to have to spend limited time coaching them and bringing them up to speed then we’ll do because we think they’ll improve us. Liverpool the way they coach their players, they’re used to doing the things that we want to do, so great, let’s see how he (Beck) gets on.”
James Trafford is likely to return as goalkeeper in place of Joel Dixon. Despite a promising debut against Crewe, Eoin Toal is expected to make way in the heart of defence for captain Ricardo Santos and have Gethin Jones and George Johnston alongside him.
