Ousmane Fane will be missing for Oldham as they host Chesterfield on Saturday afternoon.

The midfielder will serve a one-match suspension having been dismissed in last weekend's 3-2 home defeat to Shrewsbury in Sky Bet League One.

Left-back Jamie Reckord will also miss out, with Latics sending him to a specialist as they bid to get to the bottom of an issue in his hip and groin region.

Calaum Jahraldo-Martin (hamstring) may return though full-back Cameron Dummigan might have to settle for a spot on the bench having only returned from Northern Ireland Under-21s duty on Friday.

Chesterfield have been dealt a blow with the news that Dan Jones requires further surgery.

The left-back is set to go under the knife for the third time in 10 months as he needs a bone graft on his foot. It means he will be out for around another 10 weeks so Dion Donohue is expected to continue to deputise in his prolonged absence.

Some better news on the injury front for the Spireites is that goalkeeper Tommy Lee is nearing a return from his shoulder problem. Midfielder Angel Martinez (knee) remains out.

Boss Danny Wilson will not make too many changes to his starting line-up but he has the likes of Tom Anderson, Dan Gardner, Rai Simons and Conor Wilkinson to call on.
