Wigan to check on fitness of McCarthy

Wigan manager Roberto Martinez welcomes back winger Albert Crusat and defender Steve Gohouri for tomorrow’s local derby with Bolton at the DW Stadium.

Crusat sustained a knock in last month’s Carling Cup defeat at Crystal Palace, whilst Gohouri was sent off on his first appearance of the season against Tottenham.

The Latics – who have lost their last four games – will also check on midfielder James McCarthy, who missed the Republic of Ireland’s win over Armenia on Tuesday due to a bout of tonsillitis, whilst striker Hugo Rodellega is unlikely to be risked despite making good progress in his recovery from a knee injury.

Provisional squad: Al Habsi, Caldwell, Figueroa, Gohouri, Boyce, Lopez, Watson, Diame, Moses, Gomez, Di Santo, Jones, Stam, Van Aanholt, McArthur, McCarthy, Thomas, Sammon, Maloney, Crusat, McManaman.
