Mark Beevers and Joe Williams missing for Bolton’s clash with Brentford

Posted Friday, April 26, 2019 by PA

Relegated Bolton have been dealt a double blow ahead of Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship fixture against Brentford.

Defender Mark Beevers and Joe Williams will both be missing after suffering hamstring injuries in Monday’s 2-0 defeat at Blackburn.

With David Wheater (groin) already out and Jack Hobbs nursing a troublesome back problem, manager Phil Parkinson could be reduced to just one fit specialist central defender.

However, youngster Harry Brockbank is expected to make it despite being substituted with 15 minutes remaining at Ewood Park.

Brentford defender Henrik Dalsgaard is available after missing Monday’s 2-0 victory over high-flying Leeds through suspension.

Dalsgaard was sent off during Good Friday’s 1-1 draw at Millwall and had to sit out as a result.

Boss Thomas Frank has no new injury problems, with Julian Jeanvier (illness) and Rico Henry (foot) both having started against Leeds.

Yoann Barbet is closing in on a return from an ankle injury but keeper Daniel Bentley (shoulder), midfielder Lewis Macleod (hamstring) and striker Said Benrahma (ankle) are still out.
