DAVIES BACK FROM BAN

Davies - back in action.

Bolton striker Kevin Davies returns from suspension for Saturday's Premier League crunch clash with Sunderland at the Reebok Stadium.

Davies also broke his hand on his last appearance against West Ham three weeks ago but that injury will not prevent him featuring.

Manager Gary Megson is waiting on further fitness updates on midfielders Joey O'Brien and Ivan Campo.

The pair are both doubtful with hamstring and calf injuries respectively.

Jonny Evans returns to Sunderland's squad after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury.

Daryl Murphy (hamstring) is a doubt while Dickson Etuhu (knee) and Phil Bardsley (knee) are ruled out. Dwight Yorke and Ross Wallace come back into contention.
