Fresh injury could see Bolton enter transfer market

Bolton played their FA Cup third-round replay against Luton Town on Tuesday night and despite taking an early lead, the Trotters were beaten 2-1 on the night to exit the competition.

During that game, defender Will Forrester had to come off after suffering a hamstring issue.

Forrester had to be replaced at the break and if it proves more serious than first thought, it could mean the club has to act in the transfer window.

“He has got a slight hamstring niggle. We don’t know whether it is just fatigue, cramp or coming from his back perhaps, or if there is a small strain in there,” Evatt told The Bolton News.

“We will have to see how he responds overnight and then make a decision on getting an image to see what we are dealing with. It doesn’t look too serious, but it is very early days for us to make a call on that.”

Reading FC: Nelson Abbey news is a bitter pill to swallow: View

Reading supporters hoped that Abbey would return on loan until the end of the season

The Daily Mail reported that the Royals’ duo are set to move to Kenilworth Road this month, adding insult to injury for the struggling League One side.

While any money earnt on the two defenders who have come through the club’s academy would be very welcome, if Reading weren’t in such a poor position financially, they likely could have held out for more money or been in a position where they don’t have to sell until the summer transfer window.

However, Football Insider reported that Tom Holmes would be loaned back to Reading until the summer, which comes as a rare bit of good news for the club.
