Schoolboys on standby
Latics under-18's have injury problems as they prepare for tomorrow's home match against Blackpool in the Football League Youth Alliance's North West Conference.Carlton McIntosh, Chris Sutherland, Danny Gosset and Will Kinder are all ruled out through injury while keeper Luke Simpson is a doubt with an ankle injury.
The shortage of scholars means Latics will probably have to call up a number of schoolboy players.
The match takes place at Chapel Road, kick off 11am.
