Scan allays De Zeeuw injury fears

Wigan captain Arjan de Zeeuw faces only a “short term” spell on the sidelines after a scan revealed no serious damage to a knee injury sustained at the weekend.

Centre-back De Zeeuw limped off after 35 minutes of Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Liverpool with the problem, ruling him out of yesterday’s training session, and resulting in a visit to a specialist.
