Southend United vs Oldham Athletic AFC - Weston races against time to be fit for Oldham



Posted Tuesday, April 19, 2016 by PA

Myles Weston will face a late fitness test for Southend as they welcome Oldham in Sky Bet League One on Tuesday.

The midfielder missed Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Walsall due to a calf injury and manager Phil Brown will assess him before making a final decision on whether to include him in the squad.

Anthony Wordsworth (hamstring), David Mooney (ankle), Noel Hunt and Michael Timlin (both knee) all remain on the sidelines through injury.

Goalkeeper Dan Bentley will be in net for the Shrimpers despite ongoing contract talks.

Oldham defender James Wilson will travel with the team to Southend as his ankle injury continues to be monitored.

The 27-year-old, who sustained the injury last week at Barnsley, managed 55 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Fleetwood before being forced off but the problem has settled down in the last 48 hours.

Midfielder Mike Jones' rib injury looks set to keep him out again while Carl Winchester (knee) remains a doubt after missing the weekend.

Forward Dominic Poleon, who was a late substitute for his first appearance since January, could get more game time while midfielder Lee Croft is set to continue in the team after a good performance at the weekend.
