Port Vale vs Oldham Athletic AFC preview - Vale at full strength

Posted Tuesday, March 03, 2015 by PA

Port Vale prepare to host Oldham with boss Rob Page afforded the luxury of a fully-fit squad to choose from.

Page has named an unchanged team for the last three matches and after winning all three games it would be no surprise to see the former Wales defender do so again on Tuesday night.

Tommy O'Sullivan was a substitute at the weekend but the on-loan midfielder has returned to his parent club Cardiff so Colin Daniel, Achille Campion and Richard Duffy will all hope to take his place on the bench, having been left out of the matchday squad recently.

Greg Luer has also left Vale Park to return to Hull following the end of his loan spell.

Oldham's injury worries look like easing in time for the trip.

Caretaker boss Dean Holden suffered a miserable beginning to life in the hot-seat in the 4-0 loss to Preston on Saturday and he now hopes to welcome back a number of key figures.

Conor Wilkinson, Jacob Mellis and Carl Winchester (all hamstring) and top scorer Jonathan Forte (calf) are all due to swell Holden's ranks.

Defender Genseric Kusunga has been complaining of cramp and could miss out, though, while Amari Morgan-Smith, Joseph Mills and George Elokobi (all hamstring) will also sit out again.
