ONE of Oxford United’s senior players is expected to finalise a move away from the club today.
U’s head coach Michael Appleton revealed in yesterday’s Oxford Mail there were members of the squad not in his immediate plans who were open to loan spells elsewhere.
A list of names has been circulated to other clubs and the first deal is close to being done with a fellow Sky Bet League Two club.
It is understood the player will train with his new teammates this morning, before the paperwork on the move is completed.
- OXFORD United’s FA Cup first-round tie at Grimsby Town is due to be confirmed for Saturday, November 8.
The televised games for the round are yet to be selected, but neither club have so far been contacted, so are planning for a 3pm kick-off next Saturday.
Tickets for the clash at Blundell Park are expected to go on sale shortly.
