Boyce out for Wigan

Defender Emmerson Boyce is Wigan’s only major absentee for tomorrow’s Premier League trip to Manchester City.

Boyce has been plagued by hamstring trouble this season and could also miss the next game against Birmingham in a fortnight’s time.

On-loan midfielder Tom Cleverley is back in contention after being ineligible to face parent club Manchester United last weekend and January signing Connor Sammon could make his debut for the relegation-threatened Latics.

Team (from): Al Habsi, G Caldwell, Gohouri, Figueroa, Alcaraz, Watson, N’Zogbia, Diame, Moses, McCarthy, Rodallega, Stam, Lopez, Thomas, Gomez, McArthur, McManaman, Cleverley, S Caldwell, Sammon, Di Santo, Pollitt, Kirkland.
