Wigan stopper Mike Pollitt hopes to return before the end of the season despite having undergone elbow surgery on Tuesday. The 39-year-old has been the regular deputy to Ali Al Habsi this season but has made only one Barclays Premier League appearance, as a substitute, on January 5.
"Mike went in for surgery to clean up the joint around his elbow," manager Roberto Martinez told the Wigan Evening Post.
"It was just a matter of wear and tear - he had the same problem with his other elbow last year and that was corrected very quickly too.
"It was a straightforward operation and he should be back in the next two or three weeks."
