Bolton Wanderers have been placed under a transfer embargo, leaving Christian Doidge's £1million move from Forest Green Rovers under threat.

The Championship club are currently banned from signing players due to a breach of financial regulations.

Bolton agreed a deal to sign Doidge on a loan-to-buy basis at the end of August, though to be in £250,000 installments, some of which are dependent on his success at Wanderers.

But he has now been left in limbo and will not be able to play in their FA Cup third round tie at home to Walsall on Saturday.

Goalkeeper Remi Matthews and experienced midfielder Gary O’Neil are also ruled out as things stand, due to the embargo.

Doidge, 26, has so far scored one goal for Bolton in a 1-1 draw with Rotherham United on October 20.

The Welshman has made a total of eight starts and nine substitute appearances for Phil Parkinson's side.
