Oldham's Beckett back in October

He has damaged his medial ligament, rather than his cruciate ligament, which means he should be able to resume full training within two months.

Latics boss Ronnie Moore said: "Thankfully it isn’t the worst scenario which would have meant Luke being out injured for at least six months.

"We'll still miss him for a while but, fingers crossed, he’ll be back some time in October and give the side an extra dimension."
