Bodvarsson came close to opening his goalscoring account for Wanderers last night in the 2-1 win over Charlton Athletic, forcing a good save from Craig MacGillivray.
Dion Charles put Bolton in front early on after getting the better of Akin Famewo and rounding MacGillivray to give the hosts the lead.

However, Wanderers retook the lead and what proved to be the three points when Will Aimson headed home Aaron Morley's dangerous free-kick to give Wanderers 16 points out of their last 18 on offer.
And Evatt believes the striker will be a big player for Wanderers in the future and will be granted opportunities this season and beyond, with starts on the horizon.
He said: “It’s a similar situation to Dion really. We've had to make sure we don’t break him, keep building up his minutes, build up the intensity and he’s getting better and better with every game.
"He just needs a goal and he was unfortunate tonight, it was a fantastic save.
