Oldham’s Baxter facing fitness test ahead of Mansfield clash
Posted Sunday, April 21, 2019 by PA
Oldham will check on Jose Baxter ahead of Easter Monday’s League Two clash with Mansfield.
Baxter will have a hamstring problem assessed after he was forced off at half-time in Friday’s goalless draw at Cheltenham.
Mohamad Sylla impressed boss Pete Wild after replacing Baxter and could be in line for a first start since February.
Chris O’Grady is pushing for a return to the starting XI after Wild said he was dropped to the bench for tactical reasons against Cheltenham.
Mansfield manager David Flitcroft will check on Ben Turner (calf) and Otis Khan (hip).
The duo missed Friday’s clash with Morecambe but could both be available as the Stags continue their pursuit of promotion.
Friday’s 4-0 victory kept Mansfield in the automatic promotion spots with three games left to play and Flitcroft is unlikely to make too many changes to his side.
Striker Tyler Walker was withdrawn late on against Morecambe but Flitcroft said it was because he “didn’t want to take any chances” with his top goalscorer.
