Heskey to face Bolton

Wigan striker Emile Heskey has been given the all-clear to play in Sunday’s Premier League relegation battle with Bolton at the JJB Stadium.

The England international was forced off in last week’s goalless draw against Arsenal after suffering a foot injury but scans have confirmed there is no break so Latics boss Steve Bruce could name an unchanged line-up.

On-loan striker Marcus Bent could miss out again through a slight injury problem, while Swedish defender Andreas Granqvist is unavailable after rejoining Helsingborgs this week on loan until the end of the season.

Team (from): Kirkland, Melchiot, Scharner, Boyce, Edman, Valencia, Brown, Palacios, Koumas, Heskey, King, Bramble, Kilbane, Sibierski, Taylor, Pollitt, Aghahowa, Bent, Olembe, Skoko.
