Portsmouth manager on QPR shortlist while Leeds United defender is out for the rest of the season - Championship round-up

Bolton fixtures could be postponed

Two of Bolton's upcoming fixtures could be postponed amid safety fears, Sky Sports reports.

Stewards and safety staff at the University of Bolton Stadium have gone on strike over unpaid wages, leading to the Safety Advisory Group (SAG) implementing a prohibition notice which prevents fans from entering the ground.

Consequently, Bolton's next two home games against Ipswich and Middlesbrough could be postponed unless the club can show they can deliver the matchday operation to the required standard.
