The Manchester-born striker, who only turns 20 on Sunday, sustained the injury in the 1-1 draw with Reading at the Macron Stadium in midweek having scored six goals in 10 games since his debut.

Eidur Gudjohnsen’s fourth goal since rejoining Wanderers gave them a second-half lead, but Jamie Mackie netted an injury-time equaliser to cost the home side two points.

A superb defensive and goalkeeping display ensured Wanderers will host the Premier League big boys next month after they denied the Reds a heavily-tipped home win.

After coming on at half-time for his first appearance in English football since May 2012, ex-England international Heskey slid home Eidur Gudjohnsen’s cross to cancel out Josh King’s opener.

Bolton’s Saturday clash with Huddersfield Town begins a run of six games in the space of 30 days across advent and the Christmas period.
