McCarthy fit for Wigan

Republic of Ireland and Wigan midfielder James McCarthy is expected to be available to travel to Manchester United on St Stephen's Day after suffering a knock against Liverpool.

Wigan boss Roberto Martinez will assess defender Steve Gohouri (flu) and striker Hugo Rodallega before deciding on his squad.

Rodallega picked up a heavy knock during Saturday‘s 1-1 draw with Chelsea, but played against Liverpool in midweek and he will be checked again to ensure he is suffering no after-effects.

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