He will be out for between six and seven weeks.[LNB]"Maynor is a strong man and very fit. We will support him as much as we can.[LNB]"It is a big blow when any player is injured as we have a small squad and everyone has a massive role. But it is part of football and you have to cope."[LNB]Wigan could also be without Paul Scharner at Portsmouth on Saturday as he has a hamstring injury, while goalkeeper Chris Kirkland remains troubled by a dislocated finger.[LNB]
