Blackpool squad news V Bolton Wanderers: Six out of local away trip
Blackpool take on Bolton Wanderers at the Toughsheet Stadium.
Blackpool remain without their fair share of players heading into their meeting with Bolton Wanderers this afternoon.
The Seasiders will be looking to build on their midweek 1-0 victory over Mansfield Town, as a Niall Ennis goal helped them to bounce back from last weekend’s crushing 4-0 defeat against Plymouth Argyle.
Ian Evatt’s options will be boosted by the return of George Honeyman - who has been back in training this week following a spell on the sidelines.
Michael Ihiekwe is also available for selection again after missing the Stags game due to the ongoing management of his toe issue.
There is of course no Michael Obafemi for the remainder of the season, with the striker’s loan spell being brought to an early conclusion due to injury, just like Kamarl Grant last month.
Here’s the latest squad news:
James Husband
James Husband is serving a four-match ban after being sent off for kicking out in the defeat to Plymouth last weekend.
Joel Randall
Joel Randall has returned to training following a spell on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury, but is unable to play this weekend due to being on loan from Bolton Wanderers.
Albie Morgan
Albie Morgan has suffered a set back in his return from injury, with a further assessment required on his ankle, despite a hope he would’ve been back in action last weekend.
It’ since been confirmed that he requires surgery, which rules the midfielder out for the remainder of the season.
Ryan Finnigan
Ryan Finnigan was added to Blackpool’s list of absentees last week, with the midfielder picking up an ankle injury against Huddersfield - which is set to keep him out for three to four weeks.
Andy Lyons
Andy Lyons was added to the injury list last month, with the defender ruled out for eight to 10 weeks with an achilles issue.
Dale Taylor
On what was his first start since October following a lengthy spell on the sidelines, Dale Taylor was forced off after just six minutes against Doncaster Rovers on Boxing Day.
The striker has since undergone surgery on a metatarsal injury, and is expected to be out until next month.
