In Brief

No new injury concerns; head coach Alex Revell has a fully-fit squad; no fans.

Looking Back

Stevenage snatched a point with a late equaliser to start their league campaign with a 1-1 draw at Barrow.

Alex Revell made a trio of changes to his starting line-up with loanee Remeao Hutton handed his league debut.

There was a long-awaited return from injury for Danny Newton whilst youngster Jack Smith was given just his second league start.

Looking Ahead

Boro' have no new injury concerns ahead of the visit from the Latics. The game will be played with no fans.

Revell has a fully-fit squad at his disposal and is likely to stick with the same starting XI.

Last updated: Sat 19 September 2020 09:50
In Brief

No new injury concerns; David Wheater doubt otherwise new head coach Harry Kewell has a fully-fit squad; no fans.

Looking Back

Oldham Athletic knocked out of the League Cup after being beaten 1-0 by Morecambe in a second round tie at the Globe Arena.

Harry Kewell made just the two changes to his starting line-up in midweek with recent signing Andrea Badan handed his full debut.

Zak Dearnley was handed a recall with Davis Keillor-Dunn and Bobby Grant both dropping to the bench.

Looking Ahead

Kewell has no new injury concerns ahead of the trip to Stevenage. The game will be played with no fans.

David Wheater hasn't been involved in any of the opening four games this season.

The reasons for his absence aren't clear. He had been carrying an injury before lockdown but could also be set to leave the club.
