Duo set for Latics bow

Oldham have signed Sunderland pair Jean Yves M'voto and Oumare Tounkara on season-long loans ahead of the trip to Tranmere. Paris-born centre-back M'voto, 21, joined the Black Cats from Paris St Germain in January 2008 on a three-and-a-half year contract. Striker Tounkara, also 21 and Paris born, arrived from French Second Division side CS Sedan at the start of last season. Both players will feature at Prenton Park and fellow new recruits Ritchie Jones, Dean Kelly, Jason Jarrett, Warren Feeney and Rod McDonald are also in line for debuts. Yet new boss Paul Dickov - who could feature himself after registering as a player - will be without a quarter of players through injury. Chris Taylor, Deane Smalley, Greg Fleming and Sean Gregan are not fit for action.
