Wigan suffer defensive blow

Defender Gary Caldwell will miss Wigan’s clash at Manchester United with a thigh problem.

Manager Roberto Martinez expects the Scot could miss as many as six weeks with the injury, with fellow centre-half Emmerson Boyce also out with a muscle problem.

Caldwell’s brother Steven could be drafted into the side, while James McCarthy is a long-term absentee with an ankle injury.

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