Okocha has been out of action since the being substituted in the win over Blackburn Rovers last month and Wanderers boss Sam Allardyce is keen for the Nigerian to ease back into first team contention.
Neil McDonald is also able to name international duo Radhi Jaidi and Henrik Pedersen in his squad for the trip to the Midlands as the Trotters look to build on last week's win over Leeds United.
In the reverse fixture earlier this season, a goal from Irish midfielder Joey O'Brien gave Wanderers a share of the spoils at the County Ground.
