Last updated : 06 August 2003 By Mark Heys
Tonight Bolton Wanderers will welcome top Spanish outfit Real Mallorca to the Reebok Stadium in the second of the home friendlies this summer. The La Liga team who finished 9th last season will include much sought after Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o in their line up.

Bolton look set to welcome back Ricardo Gardner and Jermaine Johnson from international duty and look to include the big three, Jay-Jay Okocha, Youri Djorkaeff and former Mallorca player Ivan Campo.

Former French international Ibrahim Ba, a trialist from AC Milan will also get another chance to shine having been impressive during the clubs tour of Malta last week and joining him will be the St Etienne midfielder Fousseni Diawara who is also having a trial period having been training with the club recently.

Mallorca look set to give a start to the former PSV Eindhoven striker Arnold Bruggink who ironically rejected the Wanderers in favour of a move to the Estadio Son Miox last month whilst veteran former Spanish international Miguel Angel Nadal is also expected to take his place in the Mallorca team having recently penned a new deal.
