Boyce misses out again for Wigan

Wigan are again without defender Emmerson Boyce for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League clash at Blackburn.

The Barbados international has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury and is expected to be sidelined for another 10 days.

Fellow defender Steven Gohouri, now fully fit after a calf strain, is pushing for a recall, while midfielder Tom Cleverley will hope to continue after making his full debut in last week’s loss at Fulham.

James McCarthy is beginning a three-month rehabilitation after undergoing ankle surgery this week.

Provisional squad: Al Habsi, G Caldwell, Stam, Figueroa, Alcaraz, N’Zogbia, Diame, Moses, Cleverley, Thomas, Rodallega, Di Santo, Gomez, Gohouri, Watson, Boselli, S Caldwell, McArthur, Golobart, Kirkland.
