Bullard dropped by Wigan

Jimmy Bullard has been dropped from the Wigan squad for tomorrow’s Premiership clash with Portsmouth at the JJB Stadium.

With Bullard poised to sign for Fulham, it means the 27-year-old will miss his first league game of the season, having started in all but one.

Either Andreas Johansson or Damien Francis will get the nod to take over from Bullard in the centre of midfield, with that likely to be the only change from the team that lost at Craven Cottage on Monday.

Team (from): Pollitt, Chimbonda, Jackson, Henchoz, Camara, Roberts, Johansson, McCulloch, Kavanagh, Francis, Wright, Teale, Connolly, Ziegler, Baines, Thompson.
