Oldham Athletic AFC vs Yeovil Town preview - Latics receive Jones boost



Posted Friday, December 12, 2014 by PA

Mike Jones has declared himself available for the battle of the Johnson family when Oldham host Yeovil.

The midfielder missed the FA Cup loss to Doncaster last weekend through illness but has trained all week and thinks he is now over the problem.

Latics boss Lee Johnson revealed he had one or two minor concerns among his squad, but was reluctant to identify those players ahead of his second match against father Gary Johnson's team.

Defender James Wilson returns from suspension, while Jordan Bove is back from a loan spell and club captain Adam Lockwood (knee) might be back later this month.

Johnson senior will wait on the fitness of Tom Eaves before they make the long journey north.

The Bolton loanee missed their FA Cup draw with Accrington last weekend after stretching a quad muscle and the Glovers hope withdrawing the forward from that cup tie will mean he can return to action at Oldham.

If he fails to be given the green light then James Hayter could continue upfront having made his 700th senior appearance of his career at the Crown Ground.

Striker Kieffer Moore's hamstring injury sidelines him once more while centre-back Ryan Inniss serves the second of his three-game suspension.
