Nardiello set for Latics debut

The Latics are desperate for some additional firepower as they bid to survive relegation and Nardiello is seen as the ideal solution.The former Manchester United trainee, 27, has won three Wales caps and enjoyed a highly successful loan spell at Bury earlier this season.He will come into contention for a starting role at St James' Park and Penney is further boosted by the return of Jon Worthington after injury.The combative midfielder is fit again following his recovery from ankle ligament surgery but Jim Goodwin (thigh) and Danny Whitaker (flu) will be assessed after they both missed the past three games.
