Bolton Wanderers FC will be without forward Henrik Pedersen for up to six weeks as they battle against relegation from the English Premiership.

Damaged shoulder
The 29-year-old Dane has been ruled out after damaging his shoulder in the 1-1 draw against Manchester United FC on Saturday. Pedersen has made 24 league appearances this season, scoring five goals including two in the last three games.

Liverpool encounter
Bolton are not back in action until 8 March and on-loan Spaniard Salva Ballesta could win a place in the starting lineup for that day's encounter against Liverpool FC. Bolton are currently one place and three points above the relegation zone in 17th position.
