The 20-year-old - who moved to the DW from Liverpool in January 2019 - recently signed a one-year extension to his Latics deal.

Lloyd - who went on the first-team training camp to Hungary, and played in some of the pre-season friendlies - enjoyed a loan spell at AFC Fylde two seasons ago, under the watchful eye of ex-Latics Academy coach Nick Chadwick.
