Joyce confirms Lazio midfielder Morrison training with Wigan

Wigan boss Warren Joyce has confirmed Lazio midfielder Ravel Morrison is training with them.

The pair worked together at Manchester United.

"Ravel's obviously not played a lot of football recently," Joyce told Wigan's official website.

“I know how much of a talent he is from my days at Manchester United. It's a unique opportunity for us really because we've got a chance to look at him and assess his fitness.

“We know he has talent but it's all about how quick we can get him up to the levels we need him to be at here.

“There were players like Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and the Keanes coming through at that time, and he was possibly the star player ability-wise, so it's one that's worth looking at for us so we can assess where he is at this stage of his career."
