Bolton V Cardiff - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.


Duo missing for Bolton

Bolton will be without Max Clayton and Mark Davies for Cardiff's visit to the Macron Stadium.

The Sky Bet Championship basement dwellers lost Clayton to a hamstring injury on Monday and could miss him for the remainder of the campaign if he requires surgery.

Meanwhile, midfielder Davies accrued his fifth caution of the season in that fixture against Brentford and will therefore serve a one-game suspension.

Emile Heskey and Dean Moxey (foot) came through a development squad match this week unscathed but Wellington Silva (hamstring) and Zach Clough (shoulder) remain out.

Cardiff defender Fabio could feature for the first time since damaging foot ligaments at Ipswich at the end of October.

The Brazilian full-back was producing the best football of his Cardiff career when he was injured and is set to replace Scott Malone if he proves his fitness.

Loan signing Tony Watt made his Bluebirds debut in the 2-2 home draw with Burnley last weekend and the Charlton man is set to partner Kenwyne Jones in attack again as Cardiff seek their first goal in open play since October 3.

Federico Macheda (back) and Bruno Ecuele Manga (groin) were both on the bench against Burnley following long-term injuries and will be involved in the matchday squad.
