OLDHAM TEAM NEWS

Oldham assistant manager Alan Maybury will once again be in charge of the Latics from the dugout.

Manager Harry Kewell will be watching from home after testing positive for Covid-19 last week.

Maybury has taken one point from his two games at the helm in Kewell’s absence.

Former Manchester United defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson is in line to start having come on at half-time in Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Port Vale having recovered from injury – but Andrea Badan (hamstring) is missing.
