Owen Coyle could be ready to unleash two of his three January signings against Norwich at Carrow Road this Saturday.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, the Bolton boss has confirmed that Marvin Sordell and Ryo Miyaichi will all travel with the squad to East Anglia.

However,  Tim Ream will not be available as he is only due to arrive back in England late on Friday evening.

He said: "We all accepted that Gary (Cahill) would move on and we looked to maximise the situation and reinvest the money. We have bought youth and players who will continue to get better and whose value will appreciate.

"As for Saturday, Tim will fly back later today so he will miss out. The other two lads are in the squad and we will take it from there.

"We have to bear in mind that they will only have had two training sessions and that they are still finding their feet.

"The other lads have taken to them straight away and that's testament to the group we have here. But it is fair to say that both Marvin and Ryo are in the squad and will travel.

"The lads were fantastic the other night against Arsenal so we have to make sure the time is right for both of them to come in, whether it be from the start or the bench.

"They are both exciting players with pace to burn. Fans like to watch players who get them out of their seats and we confident both of them will do that."

Aside from the two new additions, Coyle confirmed that he will take a similar squad to Carrow Road from the Arsenal game.

The manager did, however, explain that Gretar Steinsson is a doubt with a minor injury sustained in the nil-nil stalemate with the Gunners on Wednesday.
