Wigan wait on duo

Wigan are sweating on the fitness of captain Emmerson Boyce and midfielder Emyr Huws ahead of Millwall's visit to the DW Stadium.

Boyce has been out of action since suffering a leg injury against Nottingham Forest at the end of last month while Huws picked up another ankle problem while away on international duty with Wales earlier this month.

Midfield pair Ben Watson (broken leg) and Chris McCann (knee) are on the verge of ending their long-term absences, although those comebacks will be in non-competitive games at first.

Boss Uwe Rosler is an advocate of shuffling his pack when the fixtures pile up so Andy Delort, Rob Kiernan and James Perch will be among those hoping for recalls.

Shaun Williams is suspended for Millwall's trip to face Wigan.

The defender was shown a late red card during Saturday's thrilling 3-3 draw with Wolves and serves a one-match ban, so Mark Beevers is poised to come back in.

Manager Ian Holloway signed Stoke's Andy Wilkinson on loan on Monday after Carlos Edwards suffered a season-ending cruciate injury. He looks set to make his debut against the Latics.

Winger Lee Martin returned as a substitute against Wolves after six weeks out with a knee injury and should be involved again, but Mathias Ranegie (hamstring) and Nicky Bailey (calf) are set to miss out once more.
