"The football club has been good to me since I moved here two years ago and I'm really settled in the area. The manager believes in me and I feel like I'm part of his plans."</p><p>Bolton will be without defender Zat Knight and striker Daniel Sturridge for Wednesday's FA Cup fourth-round replay against Wigan at the DW Stadium.</p><p>Knight is expected to miss the next four to six weeks after damaging ligaments in his right knee in Sunday's 2-0 win over Everton, while Sturridge, who has scored three goals in three games since arriving on loan from Chelsea, is cup-tied.</p><p>"Zat suffered ligament damage," the Bolton manager Coyle said. "It's not as severe as we first thought but certainly bad enough to keep him out for a period of time. There's severe swelling in the area so I think we'll know better in seven to 10 days when that goes down.</p><p>"But I think it's fair to say he'll be four to six weeks, which is a terrible loss, first and foremost for Zat, because he's played every game for me since I came to the football club over a year ago.</p><p>"He's been outstanding as a player and as a man and the sooner we get him back the better. It is a blow, there's no doubt about it, and we wish him a speedy recovery."</p><div class="related" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/boltonwanderers">Bolton Wanderers</a></li></ul></div><br/><div class="terms"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk">guardian.co.uk</a> &copy; Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html">Terms & Conditions</a> | <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/help/feeds">More Feeds</a></div><p style="clear:both" />
