Stig Tofting's agent claims Bolton will stand by the midfielder after he was sentenced to four months in jail for assaulting a restaurant manager.
The Danish international is flying back to England following the court hearing in Copenhagen after launching an appeal against the sentence.
Karsten Aabrink expects Tofting to return to training tomorrow and feature in the Bolton squad for Sunday's match at Tottenham.
He said: "He's on his way back to England. Bolton have supported Stig and they're standing by their man and we're pleased by that."
Tofting was convicted of assaulting the manager of Copenhagen's Cafe Ketchup during a night out with fellow international players following the squad's return from the World Cup.
The incident developed after Tofting's party drew a complaint from staff over singing. Aabrink admitted his client was under no illusions of the gravity of the offence when he went to court this morning.
He said: "He admitted what he did in court, so he expected some sort of punishment, but this is tough of course. We knew he could be sent to prison."
Aabrink added: "If you are a celebrity, sometimes it counts against you in Denmark. That's my opinion and I think that is what happened to Stig."

I read about this, and laughed!
I never thought i'd see another Footballer locked-up EVER!
And the whole reason why just seems funny to me...
I just can't imagine a Danish player doing that for some reason.
I'm also surprised to see that Bolton aren't trying to do anything 'major' to try and get him out. They obviously don't like him THAT much. :)

Heh, Tofting makes Keane look like an Angel.
This from todays daily star made me laugh...
"He recentley provoked outrage in his home town of Aarhus when he attempted to open a cafe.
Worried local councillors objected becasue they feared it would become a haven for his biker buddies.
It was only when he threatened to run for office that they backed down - provided he also stood down as mayoral candidate"
