Injury problems for Power at Swindon

Swindon chairman Lee Power will be confronted by an injury-hit squad as he assumes caretaker control for the League One clash with fellow strugglers Oldham on Tuesday.

Power is taking temporary charge of the Robins after Mark Cooper left the club over the weekend, following a 2-0 defeat at Millwall that left them hovering above the relegation zone on goal difference only.

However, injuries have taken their toll at the County Ground, with Nathan Thompson, Jon Obika, Wes Thomas, Jordan Williams, Kevin Stewart, Fabien Robert, Yasir Kasim, Jermaine Hylton and Anton Rodgers all on the treatment table and doubtful for the Latics clash.

Jordan Turnbull completes his three-match ban, but fellow defender Bradley Barry showed no ill-effects of the concussion that kept him out for a couple of weeks as he played the full 90 minutes at the New Den on Saturday.

Defender Jonathan Burn will miss out for Oldham through suspension.

The Middlesbrough loanee was sent off for two bookable offences against Sheffield United on Saturday and serves a one-match ban.

Tim Dieng or youngster George Edmundson could replace Burn in the centre of defence.

On-loan Blades striker Michael Higdon returns after he was ineligible to face his parent club at the weekend.
