Wigan Athletic v Fulham

Swedish full-back Erik Edman could return to the Wigan side against Fulham at the DW Stadium on Sunday.

Edman has returned to training after a bout of concussion and is in line to make his comeback.

Wigan are aiming to get back on track after losing to Portsmouth but will again be without Maynor Figueroa, who has a knee injury.

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson is likely to be without key duo Andrew Johnson and Danny Murphy for the trip north..

Johnson (shoulder) and captain Murphy (knee) both missed Thursday's Europa League defeat against Roma which could mean a start for Bobby Zamora in attack.

Dickson Etuhu could start after recovering from a knee injury while Damien Duff will be given a fitness test to see if he has overcome an Achilles injury.

Wigan team (from): Kirkland, Bramble, Scharner, Gomez, Melchiot, Boyce, Edman, N'Zogbia, Diame, Thomas, Scotland, Rodallega, Koumas, Sinclair, Pollitt, Cho, Kapo, Kingson, McCarthy, Amaya, De Ridder.

Fulham team (from): Schwarzer, Zuberbuhler, Konchesky, Pantsil, Hangeland, Baird, Smalling, Kelly, Hughes, Etuhu, Dempsey, Gera, Andranik, Riise, Greening, Duff, Davies, Kamara, E Johnson, Nevland, Seol, Zamora, Elm.
