Roberts to return for Wigan

Wigan striker Jason Roberts is certain to return to the starting line-up for Sunday’s Carling Cup final against Manchester United despite missing the club’s last three matches through suspension.

Although sustaining a knee injury in Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Spurs, centre-back Stephane Henchoz trained yesterday and is in line to partner captain Arjan de Zeeuw at the heart of the defence.
