Wanderers will have to wait on the result of Nicky Hunt's knee scan before deciding whether he can take part in the crunch clash with Liverpool on Saturday.

The full-back was taken off during England Under-21s' 2-2 draw with Germany on Friday night, and now faces an agonising wait to see if he will be included in Wanderers' biggest game of the season so far.

Sam Allardyce will also be keeping his fingers crossed that his other international stars steer clear of injuries in the midweek games, with the likes of Jussi Jaaskelainen and Stelios in action for Finland and Greece respectively.
