Wigan Athletic boss Paul Jewell fears Fitz Hall and Josip Skoko will miss Saturday's trip to Fulham after picking up injuries during the 4-0 rout of Manchester City.

Skoko limped out of the game during the first half with a hamstring niggle, while Hall failed to reappear after half-time after taking a heavy knock to his ankle.

Jewell told the Evening Post: "The next 48 hours are vital, we'll know a lot more about both the injuries after that.

"Hopefully they won't be out too long, and I never like ruling players out of a weekend game so early in the week.

"We'll wait and see, it is difficult putting time spans on injuries because everyone heals at a different rate.

"As for Fulham on Saturday, I don't want to make statements now which could look foolish by the time the game comes round."

Denny Landzaat and Andy Webster are on standby to start at Craven Cottage, having replaced the injured duo during the win against City.
