Gethin Jones will not be available for Bolton Wanderers' trip to Gillingham this weekend owing to the death of his mother Karen and Ian Evatt has said the defender will be given as much time as he needs to process the awful news.
Karen, 56, passed away last weekend after losing her battle with motor neurone disease (MND) after being diagnosed last summer with the illness, for which there is currently not a cure.
Karen, a much-loved former midwife, leaves behind Wanderers vice-captain and sons Gethin and Dylan, daughter Ela and husband Gareth.
