Ian Evatt on Bolton's weekend Peterborough clash chances & sends message ahead of Queen's funeral

Ian Evatt says Bolton Wanderers will prepare as normal for this weekend's game against Peterborough United which he believes will go ahead but says training will be amended to enable Queen Elizabeth II's funeral to be watched and respects paid.

Her Majesty died last Thursday at Balmoral in Scotland at the age of 96. She has been succeeded by her son who has become King Charles III and the weekend's football was postponed as a mark of respect.

However, the midweek round of fixtures will all go ahead and means Bolton Wanderers' trip to MK Dons will proceed. The EFL have confirmed that a minute's silence will be held before each game, black armbands will be worn and the National Anthem will be played before kick-off, while all flags will be flown at half-mast too.
