Wigan Athletic v Blackburn Rovers
Updated: Thursday, 24 Dec 2009 14:40
Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the match against Blackburn.
He will again be without midfielder Mohamed Diame, who is sidelined for four to five weeks because of a knee injury.
Martinez may be tempted to freshen things up after a run of only one win in seven games, which has left his side in the bottom half of the table.
Blackburn will be without Vince Grella as well as David Dunn for the trip to Wigan on St Stephen's Day.
Chris Samba is back after a stomach bug and Brett Emerton could also return from injury.
Wigan squad: Kirkland, Edman, Bramble, Scharner, Melchiot, Boyce, Figueroa, N'Zogbia, Scotland, Koumas, Sinclair, Cho, Rodallega, Amaya, De Ridder, Thomas, Gomez, McCarthy, Kingson, Pollitt.
Blackburn squad: Robinson, Olsson, Chimbonda, Givet, Salgado, Samba, Nelsen, Diouf, Pedersen, Andrews, Jacobsen, Nzonzi, Emerton, Hoilett, Kalinic, McCarthy, Roberts, Di Santo, Brown.
