Bolton and Bury could find their opening Sky Bet League One fixtures suspended over ongoing financial concerns, the English Football League has warned.

The EFL said that while "some progress" has been made with regard to proving they can meet their outstanding commitments, "concerns do remain" about both clubs.

The EFL has agreed a new deadline of 5pm on Monday for both clubs - who have already been hit with 12-point penalties - to comply with a request to submit evidence.

The EFL warned: "If the information is not received, the EFL Board is likely to suspend the opening day fixtures against Wycombe Wanderers (Bolton Wanderers) and MK Dons (Bury) under the provision of EFL Regulation 28.2."
