Fresh options for Jewell

Wigan manager Paul Jewell may be struggling to sign a new striker, but he at least has fresh options open to him for tomorrow’s Barclays Premiership clash against Sunderland at the JJB Stadium.

Australia international Josip Skoko has finally received a work permit after his recent move from Genclerbirligi, while fellow midfielder Graham Kavanagh is also available after a four-week lay-off with a heel injury.
