Eoin Doyle is close to a return for Bolton Wanderers but Ian Evatt says the striker will only be back in action when he is 100 per cent able to do so.
The 33-year-old has been out with a calf injury of late and was last in action for Wanderers in the 2-2 draw against Stockport County at the University of Bolton Stadium at the start of November.
He has missed the last three games for the club, having scored six goals across 21 appearances in all competitions this season.
