Rovers’ Wright remains a doubt as Doncaster travel to troubled Bolton

Posted Monday, August 19, 2019 by PA

Troubled Bolton continue their search for a first win of the season when they host Doncaster in League One on Tuesday.

With Wanderers still in administration and awaiting a takeover by the Football Ventures consortium, boss Phil Parkinson has been picking teams predominantly made up of young players.

And he said after Saturday’s 5-0 loss to Tranmere that the club had contacted the EFL earlier in the week expressing concern about the welfare of youngsters he was selecting.

It remains to be seen whether Dennis Politic (hip) or Liam Edwards (ankle) are involved on Tuesday having missed the match at Prenton Park. Connor Hall and Josh Earl (both ankle) are unavailable.

Doncaster defender Joe Wright remains a doubt ahead of the trip to the University of Bolton Stadium.

Wright is yet to feature this term after picking up an injury in pre-season, but has been back in training.

Rovers appeared to come through without any fresh injury problems being sustained in Saturday’s 3-2 win over Fleetwood, their first victory under boss Darren Moore.

Alex Baptiste is sidelined after rupturing his Achilles tendon in the previous league match, last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Rochdale.
