Oldham boss Harry Kewell will not be on the touchline for tonight's game against Carlisle United after testing positive for Covid-19.

The Latics will be lead by assistant head coach Alan Maybury following news of Kewell's positive test earlier today.

Oldham say Kewell is continuing to self-isolate for a period of 10 days after feeling unwell "towards the end of the weekend".

In a statement, they said the Australian was retested yesterday but has not been at training since developing symptoms.

Tonight's League Two fixture at Boundary Park will go ahead as planned after consultation with the EFL, while Carlisle said Oldham have kept them updated throughout.

Oldham say Kewell will help Maybury and the rest of their staff "remotely" and will also miss their next two games.
