Wanderers have submitted their 2024/25 squad list to the EFL – with a spare outfield slot but no room for Luke Matheson.

The 21-year-old came off the bench in the 3-2 win at Barrow on Tuesday night after an injury to Jordi Osei-Tutu.

Matheson is still eligible to play for the B Team, although Ian Evatt revealed over the summer that the plan was to get the youngster more experience on loan providing Bolton can find the 'right' club for him.

Earlier this year, he had a spell at Bohemians in the League of Ireland to get more experience of senior football under his belt.

Wanderers have left a slot free as expected, with Evatt confirming after the Barrow game they were still looking to bring in a free agent, having opted against bringing in a loan from a Premier League club on deadline day.

However, the player in question has also been attracting interest from abroad which has made negotiations more difficult.

Evatt confirmed last week that Carlos Mendes Gomes would be included as the versatile attacker continues his recovery from an Achilles injury suffered against Wigan earlier this year.

Will Forrester and Gethin Jones are both included. The former recently had surgery on a broken and dislocated toe, while the latter has also been sidelined by injury and is yet to feature this season.
