David Wheater and Marc Wilson doubtful as Bolton host Reading
Posted Monday, January 28, 2019 by PA
David Wheater and Marc Wilson are doubtful as Bolton return to Sky Bet Championship action against Reading.
Wheater injured his knee prior to the FA Cup fourth-round defeat at Bristol City while fellow centre-back Marc Wilson failed to recover from a dead leg in time to face the Robins – although he was among the substitutes.
On-loan Birmingham defender Jonathan Grounds was laid low by illness last time out and could be absent again.
Midfielder Joe Williams (thigh) continues his recovery and winger Yanic Wildschut is set for three months out to recover from ankle surgery.
Reading will almost certainly be without defender Tiago Ilori, who is set for a permanent switch to former club Sporting Lisbon.
But recent loan acquisitions Nelson Oliveira, Emiliano Martinez and Matt Miazga are pushing for their debuts.
Royals captain Paul McShane is working his way back to fitness following a lengthy absence because of a hamstring injury but is unlikely to be involved at the University of Bolton Stadium.
Fellow defenders John O’Shea and Tom McIntyre will definitely miss out due to injury, while forward Yakou Meite and midfielder Saeid Ezatolahi are also sidelined.
