Bennett struggling for Latics clash

28 August 2009 10:54
The Irish centre-half missed Saturday's 1-1 draw at his former club Southampton after suffering a groin injury and is not expected to be fit in time for the weekend. On-loan Bristol City defender James Wilson stepped in at St Mary's and is in line to deputise again while experienced midfielder Kevin O'Connor should retain the captain's armband. Manager Andy Scott has no new injury concerns, with strikers Ben Strevens (broken leg) and Charlie MacDonald (shoulder) long-term absentees. Winger Cleveland Taylor, Scott's recent signing from Carlisle, came off the bench to grab the Bees' equaliser at Southampton and is pushing for his first start for the club.
