Speaking about the suspension, Latics boss Roberto Martinez told the club's official website: "It will be a big blow to lose Gary for next week but as I said, it is time to find solutions within the squad not just individuals."
Emmerson Boyce is likely to make the switch to centre back with Ronnie Stam filing in at full back.
The steadying influence and pace of Boyce is much needed at centre back after the collapses of recent weeks.
