N'Zogbia in line for Wigan debut

Midfielder Charles N’Zogbia is in line for his Wigan debut against Fulham at the JJB Stadium tomorrow.

The Frenchman completed a £6m move from Newcastle on transfer deadline day and is likely to fill the wide left role which belonged to Ryan Taylor, who moved in the opposite direction as part of the deal.

Winger Antonio Valencia is closer to a recall after a hamstring problem while Amr Zaki is expected to start after recovering from the knee injury which kept him out of last weekend’s goalless draw at Aston Villa.

Provisional squad: Kirkland, Melchiot, Scharner, Bramble, Figueroa, Cattermole, N’Zogbia, Valencia, Kapo, De Ridder, Zaki, Mido, Kingson, Pollitt, Edman, Brown, Boyce, Rodallega.
