Oldham Athletic AFC vs Shrewsbury Town preview - Oldham skipper Kelly doubtful
Posted Friday, August 21, 2015 by PA
Oldham captain Liam Kelly is a doubt for Saturday's Sky Bet League One clash with Shrewsbury with a knee injury.
The Scottish midfielder limped off during the second half of the midweek draw at Colchester and was due to be assessed.
Losing the 25-year-old would be another blow after it was confirmed earlier this week that striker Jake Cassidy could be out for three months with ankle ligament damage and a fractured leg.
Defender Brian Wilson is hoping to be back in contention after a groin injury.
Shrewsbury boss Micky Mellon must decide whether to include Nathaniel Knight-Percival and James Wesolowski at Boundary Park.
The pair have come through their comebacks from cruciate knee ligament injuries unscathed after playing 75 minutes in a 2-0 friendly win over Wigan in midweek.
Mellon must also fill the gap left by Connor Goldson after the defender joined Brighton on a four-year deal this week.
Liam McAlinden and Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro are pushing to start after their substitute appearances in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Chesterfield.
