Bolton Wanderers manager Neil Lennon has revealed that Emile Heskey could be out for up to three weeks with a hamstring injury.

The veteran striker, 36, started against his former club Liverpool in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday, but had to come off shortly after half time at Anfield.

"Emile Heskey has got a hamstring strain," Lennon told the club website.

"He'll have a scan today, but he could be out for two to three weeks, which is a blow."

Bolton managed to hold the Reds to a goalless draw and earn a replay at the Macron Stadium.

Since joining Bolton on a free transfer last month, Heskey has scored once in six appearances for the Trotters.
