Scunthorpe United vs Oldham Athletic AFC - Stephen Dawson doubt for Scunthorpe

Posted Friday, February 26, 2016 by PA

Scunthorpe captain Stephen Dawson is a doubt for the home game against Oldham with a hamstring problem which meant he had to be substituted during the first half of the 2-1 loss to Fleetwood.

New manager Nick Daws took Dawson off as a precautionary measure as the player only recently returned to action after missing much of the first half of the campaign with a knee cartilage problem.

Midfielder Luke Williams is on the road to recovery after missing Scunthorpe's last two matches.

Williams was injured in the victory over Southend a fortnight ago but is unlikely to be fit in time to face Latics.

Oldham boss John Sheridan has played down injury concerns over forward Aaron Amadi-Holloway after he was forced off late on in Tuesday's win at Peterborough.

Sheridan said the 23-year-old had a 'little twist' of the ankle but expects him to be fit.

Brian Wilson is available again having been a substitute at London Road following his groin injury, while Joseph Mills is back in the squad following the birth of his daughter.

Matt Palmer's loan deal from Burton expires after this match, though Oldham may yet extend it.
