Oldham v Chesterfield preview

Team news for Monday night's Johnstone's Paint Trophy northern area final second-leg between Oldham and Chesterfield at Boundary Park.

Oldham boss Paul Dickov is hoping four key players will overcome injuries in time for the match.

Skipper Dean Furman has a knee injury, while fellow midfielder James Wesolowski suffered a recurrence of his dislocated shoulder in the goalless draw with Exeter last weekend.

Centre-back Zander Diamond has been out of action since suffering a neck injury during the warm-up ahead of the 2-1 first-leg defeat at Chesterfield and forward Robbie Simpson is nursing a hamstring complaint.

"We are confident the majority, if not all of the injured players will have a chance of playing on Monday night," Dickov told Oldham's official website.

"The good thing is that the players who are out are all desperate to play in such a big game and put their bodies on the line.

"We have had 12 games since the beginning of December in a seven-week spell so you are going to pick up little niggles, especially when you have played as many games as we have."

Meanwhile, Chesterfield will be forced into two changes.

Centre-back Neal Trotman and left-back Liam Ridehalgh are cup-tied having played in the competition already this season for Rochdale and Huddersfield respectively.

In their absence, Nathan Smith is likely to be recalled while Simon Ford could recover from a knee injury in time to fill in.

Alex Mendy returned from a head injury to sit on the bench for the league victory at home to Bournemouth on Friday night.

Fellow forwards Craig Westcarr (ankle) and Dean Morgan (hamstring) and midfielder Jimmy Juan (calf) are on the cusp of a return to contention for Monday evening.

The Spireites travel to Boundary Park with a 2-1 lead from the first leg.
