Bolton’s Championship clash against Brentford will not take place this week after being postponed over the weekend, the EFL has confirmed.
The fixture was originally scheduled to take place last Saturday, but it was cancelled as Wanderers players boycotted over unpaid wages.
Bolton have been told they must fulfil their two outstanding fixtures – the Brentford clash as well as the final day trip to Nottingham Forest on Sunday – with the EFL to decide on Thursday when the Brentford match will take place.
The Brentford game will not be rearranged for this week, with the EFL confirming it could take place after the last round of fixtures has been completed.
“The EFL has this morning confirmed that Bolton Wanderers’ suspended Sky Bet Championship fixture with Brentford will not be played this week,” a statement released by the governing body read.
“The EFL Board will now determine on Thursday 2 May 2019 as to what arrangements are to be put in place in regards to the fixture and Bolton Wanderers will be instructed accordingly.

Businessman Laurence Bassini had looked set to complete a takeover of the ailing club, already relegated to League One for next season, but that was thrown into doubt on Monday.
In an earlier statement, released on Saturday, Bolton accused Bassini of failing to keep his pledge that players and staff would be paid during the takeover process.
The club confirmed on Tuesday that Bassini will meet with EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey having had the Monday deadline for discussions extended.
A statement read: “All parties have agreed that in the event of the EFL not being satisfied with the proposed funding structure presented by Mr Bassini then negotiations will cease with immediate effect and Mr Bassini will withdraw his interest in the club.”
Brentford could be forced to play their postponed fixture at Bolton after the scheduled end of the Championship season after the EFL confirmed on Tuesday that the game will not be played this week.
