Camara returns for Wigan

Striker Henri Camara returns to the Wigan squad for the first time since April for their first home game of the Barclays Premier League season against Middlesbrough on Wednesday night.

The Senegal international has fully recovered from a knee injury sustained in December which restricted him to just two starts in the closing months of last season and will add to the attacking options for boss Chris Hutchings.

Defender Emmerson Boyce is not yet fit to return from a groin injury while full-back Ryan Taylor is also still out and summer signing Michael Brown must wait for his debut as he continues the suspension incurred with Fulham at the end of last season.

Provisional squad: Kirkland, Melchiot, Bramble, Granqvist, Kilbane, Valencia, Scharner, Landzaat, Koumas, Heskey, Folan, Sibierski, Camara, Hall, Skoko, Aghahowa, Pollitt.
