Wanderers have already added two new additions to the squad in the form of experienced former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Kieran Lee and Swansea City defender Declan John on loan. Evatt has confirmed that more acquisitions will be coming this month, with the Wanderers manager previously admitting other options in the forward areas of the pitch are being targeted.

The Trotters return to the University of Bolton Stadium and will take on the Robins aiming to do the double over Michael Duff's side. When these two sides met last month, Wanderers emerged on top thanks to Ryan Delaney's late winner.

Wanderers are closing in on finalising a deal for former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Kieran Lee.

The Trotters are poised to be active in the market with incomings on the horizon. An experienced midfielder thought to be former Sheffield Wednesday man Kieran Lee has trained with the League Two club in recent weeks and talks are progressing over a potential deal for the free agent.

The Trotters start the year at the University of Bolton Stadium with a League Two clash against John Yems' side. It will Bolton's first game for a week after the home clash against Morecambe was suspended earlier this week following a coronavirus outbreak in the Shrimps camp.
