Latics under-18's are again forced to include schoolboys in their squad for tomorrow's Football League Youth Alliance, North West Conference match against Stockport County at Chapel Road, kick off 11am.

Injuries to Glenn Belezika and Kyle Riley - both long term - along with Jack Poxon, Chris Sutherland and Luke Wandless has left Latics with only 10 available scholars.

That means a number of schoolboys will be involved at at least one will be in the starting line up.

Latics were also short of numbers last Saturday, but still managed to post a 1-0 win at Carlisle.
