Ryo Miyaichi is still battling to overcome an ankle injury at Wigan Athletic.
The 20-year old Japanese winger, on a season-long loan from Arsenal, has not featured for the Latics since November 17 and will remain sidelined for the weekend's home clash with Liverpool.
Miyaichi has had a terrible season at the DW Stadium, making just four Premier League appearances, and a further two in the Capital One Cup but the Latics are hoping they can get him back on the pitch in the next couple of weeks.
