Oldham v Leyton Orient: League Two game off amid Latics Covid cases

Oldham Athletic are bottom of League Two

Oldham Athletic have postponed Saturday's League Two home game with Leyton Orient because of injuries and positive Covid-19 cases in their squad.

The Latics contacted the English Football League and Orient to confirm they did not have "sufficient players available to fulfil the fixture".

Clubs with a minimum of 14 fit players including a goalkeeper, must play.

As per EFL protocols the league will review the circumstances behind the need to postpone the game.

Both clubs will confirm a new date for the fixture in due course.

Oldham also have last weekend's game with Sutton United to fit into their schedule, although that postponement was because of a waterlogged pitch.
