Carl Piergianni set to return for Oldham against Mansfield

Posted Monday, January 27, 2020 by PA

Oldham will have Carl Piergianni available for the visit of Mansfield in Sky Bet League Two on Tuesday.

The on-loan centre-back was ineligible to face parent club Salford last weekend, but can now return to the heart of the Latics’ defence.

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson was an unused substitute on Saturday after joining on loan from Manchester United and will hope to make his debut.

Manager Dino Maamria recently revealed Chris McCann is close to being available again after injury, although for now remains absent along with Gary Woods, Jamie Stott, Johan Branger-Engone and Emmanuel Dieseruvwe.

Mansfield’s Kellan Gordon is out with a back injury, but is one of the only problems for boss Graham Coughlan.

Willem Tomlinson recovered quickly from a groin injury to appear off the bench during the 3-0 win over Bradford last weekend.

Hayden White missed that encounter with a knock and will be assessed ahead of the clash with the Latics.

Forward Craig Davies is fit again after an ankle injury, but may have to bid his time with fellow strikers Danny Rose, Nicky Maynard and Andy Cook finding the net last Saturday.
