Tevez was injured, so too Evans after that game. Hope Tevez will be fit for the Bolton game, as I don't at all fancy a Welbeck Berbatov partnership (forced experiment). And Evans out would mean what centre back partnership? Vidic - Neville maybe? Not O'Shea surely? - he got skinned loads of times in the Wigan game.
I got this from the United web site hope it clears up your question .

Fitness test for Tevez, Evans
Carlos Tevez and Jonny Evans will both have to prove their fitness on Saturday morning as Sir Alex Ferguson faces up to an injury-enforced selection dilemm ahead of the visit to Bolton Wanderers.
The pair picked up knocks in the midweek victory over Wigan and are not yet ready to be passed fit, hence the need for a 10am test.
“We limped over the line on Wednesday night, when we picked up quite a few injuries. At this time I couldn't tell you what my side is going to be," the boss told reporters at his pre-match press conference.
“We've got fitness tests on two players, possibly three, on Saturday morning. [Carlos] Tevez and [Jonny] Evans are major doubts. They will have a fitness test at 10am. There are one or two others that are doubtful."
If Evans were to miss the trip to the Reebok, it would hit United in a position that is already suffering from numerous absentees. Gary Neville may step in alongside Nemanja Vidic at centre-back, while Reserves captain James Chester is another possibility.
“I've brought James Chester into the squad," added Sir Alex. "Although he hasn't played in the first team, he is still a capable young player. If it has to be, then it has to be. That's why we have a big squad.
“But with Wes, Rio and Patrice all out, it would be a major blow if Evans isn't available, particularly because of the form he has been in.â
