The Japanese winger, on loan from Arsenal, last played for the Latics in the 3-0 defeat at Liverpool on November 18 and continues to struggle with an ankle problem.
Miyaichi, who impressed on loan with Bolton last term, has made four substitute appearances in the Premier League for Wigan as well as one start and one showing off the bench in the Capital One Cup.
