ESPN preview Oldham youngster Phil Salt has been ruled out of the Latics' clash with strugglers Colchester on Sunday.

The 20-year-old midfielder, who has been attracting rave reviews, has had an operation on his ankle.

Steve Whitehall, who came off the subs' bench to hit the winner against Millwall, could be in line for a starting place.

Boss Andy Ritchie said: "He has certainly left me plenty to think about because that was his third goal in our last three home games."

Bottom club Colchester United travel with a number of injury worries.

Andy Arnott will miss the trip to Boundary Park and veteran midfielder Geraint Williams is still sidelined after a knee operation. Williams has seen his season curtailed by injury so far and this is the latest setback for the former Welsh international.

Meanwhile, Richard Wilkins has a thigh injury, although it is hoped the midfielder will have recovered in time for the match. Exciting young attacker Lomana Tresor Lua Lua has damaged a calf and must undergo a late fitness test before a decision is taken on him. However, like Wilkins, it is hoped the highly-rated striker will be fit enough to play.

Otherwise the squad is expected to be unchanged from the one which fought out a creditable draw with promotion hopefuls Preston North End at Layer Road last weekend.
 

 Alan of Harrow Writes ........ Having read the letter from the Canadian branch of our supporters, regarding home fans moving from the Chaddy End to the Rochdale Road End, I must make a comment.
The accoustics in the Rochdale Road End may be better, but I would not like to have to sit in that stand week in week out, because of the Oldham weather. In nine games out of ten, the wind blows directly into the Rochdale Road End stand. When it rains, the wind ensures that anyone sitting in the front half of the stand gets a soaking. Visiting supporters only have to put up with these conditions once a season, whereas we would have to put up with them every home game.
It probably doesn't matter any more anyway, because it looks like we will be moving to a new ground. Like it or not.
