Magpies wait on Brown
Notts County will check on Reece Brown ahead of the visit of Oldham.
Brown came off at half-time against Leyton Orient in midweek, with the on-loan midfielder having been suffering from illness prior to the match.
Magpies manager Shaun Derry named an unchanged team on Tuesday night, with the only changes coming on the bench where Mustapha Dumbuya and the fit again Garry Thompson came in for Cieron Keane and Nicky Wroe.
Hayden Mullins (leg), Mike Edwards, Blair Adams (thigh) and Kyle Dixon (ankle) are all still continuing their recovery from injuries.
Oldham boss Lee Johnson is hoping striker Jonathan Forte will be fit for a return to action after missing their last two League One fixtures.
The 28-year-old scored for the fifth time this term when bagging the only goal of the game against Fleetwood earlier this month before limping off in the second half.
Midfielder James Dayton, who produced a wonder strike in Tuesday's 2-2 draw at Swindon, expects to shake off another knock on his sore ankle which forced an early exit from that game.
Johnson, meanwhile, has dismissed speculation that former Wolves striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake is poised to join the Latics, but he has been invited to train with the club.
