Wilkinson


Recommended Posts

As it stands, he is still without the services of George Elokobi (calf), Joseph Mills (calf) and Amari Morgan-Smith (hamstring) for the next few weeks.

Midfield man Jacob Mellis has a hamstring tear which means he is missing for three weeks and right-back Brian Wilson serves a one-match suspension for his red card at Yeovil this weekend.

Looking further ahead, Holden confirmed that on-loan Bolton striker Conor Wilkinson will be missing for Athletic’s home game with Rochdale on Tuesday, March 24.

Wilkinson has been called up to the Republic of Ireland’s under-21s squad for their UEFA European Championship qualifier against Andorra which takes place two nights after the Dale clash.

After speaking to manager Noel King, Holden was told that Wilkinson would be required to link up with the Ireland squad on the day of the Rochdale game, meaning he won’t be able to turn out for his club.

Carl Winchester is also a doubt for both Rochdale and the fixture at Bradford that follows it four days later, as he could yet be involved in the full Northern Ireland squad during that international week.
