Oldham Athletic could be without defender Stefan Stam for up to six weeks with a knee ligament injury.

The 29-year-old missed last week's 3-1 defeat at Stockport County after suffering the injury during training.

Scans have confirmed Stam suffered a small ligament tear which will require a period of rest.

"The lay-off could be as much as six weeks or as little as three - we don't know fully yet," head physio Marc Czuczman told the club's official website.

The Latics will now be without three defenders - Stam, Sean Gregan (suspended) and Neal Eardley (international duty) - for Sunday's visit of Hereford United.
