Broken Reckord forces Oldham into a change for Wigan clash

Oldham manager Steve Robinson will be without Jamie Reckord for the EFL Cup visit of Wigan.

The left-back lasted only 11 minutes in the 3-0 defeat to Millwall before being replaced by Josh Law, who is in line to deputise again.

Robinson's hunt for a new striker goes on but Darius Osei could make his first start up front after making a 30-minute debut from the bench on Saturday.

Full-back Ryan McLaughlin arrived from Liverpool on Monday - Latics' 16th new face this summer - but is not yet match fit.

Wigan manager Gary Caldwell is hoping to add some fresh faces to his ranks before the game.

Nick Powell could return from a groin problem to provide a welcome boost in midfield, with Caldwell bemoaning his squad's strength in depth after Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Bristol City.

Midfielder Emyr Huws remains a doubt after rolling his ankle in training.

Donervon Daniels recovered sufficiently from a knee problem to replace fellow defender Luke Burke for the last 13 minutes on Saturday and is expected to displace the academy prospect in the starting XI.
