Owen Coyle hopes Fabrice Muamba will make his first appearance in front of Bolton fans since suffering a cardiac arrest last month when they play Tottenham on Wednesday.
Coyle said it would be a "wonderful opportunity" for Muamba to thank fans and players from both clubs for their support after he collapsed on the pitch during an FA Cup tie clash against Spurs at White Hart Lane on 17 March.
The 24-year-old has made a remarkable recovery and he was discharged from hospital two weeks ago.
"We have always said that before the end of the season, we would love it if Fabrice was fit and available to come to a game," Coyle said.
"We have to remember after everything he has been through, it has to be the right thing for him, his family and the medical team.
"But it is an open invitation, and if Fabrice is fit and well for that then I think the game against Tottenham would be a great opportunity, because of the events that took place at White Hart Lane.
"It would give a chance for everybody to see how well he is doing and from his end, it would also give him a chance to thank both sets of fans, who were magnificent on the night, and the Tottenham players - he has already been touching base with our players - because the concern they showed for Fabrice that night was remarkable.
"If it came about, I think it would be a wonderful opportunity. We are always speaking to him and we will do that again between today and tomorrow.
"If the family and Fabrice think it is something he would like to do, he would be welcomed with open arms."
