The Sky Bet League Two game between Oldham and Orient at Boundary Park on Saturday has been postponed due to the number of injuries and positive Covid-19 cases within the home squad.

Oldham, who sit bottom of the league, also had their game against Sutton postponed last week due to a waterlogged pitch and have now seen their second game called off in the space of a week, this time due to Covid which has affected many clubs recently.

A statement on the Latics’ website read: “The club has worked hard to ensure that it has been able to fulfil the fixture.

“However, taking into account the injuries and positive Covid-19 cases within the squad, the club does not have a sufficient number of players available in order to fulfil the fixture and as a result, has informed the EFL and Leyton Orient.”
