Pre-season edit
On 19 May 2015, Bolton Wanderers announced their pre-season schedule in full for both the entire squad and an XI squad.[1][2] On 2 June 2015, the club confirmed their home pre-season friendly against ChievoVerona.[3] On 26 June 2015, Bolton Wanderers announced the club will face two friendlies during their Austria tour.[4] Bolton were set to play against Italian team A.C. ChievoVerona, however Chievo cancelled friendlies against both Bolton and Charlton Athletic, who also were set to play against them, which lead to the two teams playing against each other instead.[5]
