Martinez happy with Wigan preseason programme

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is happy with the preseason programme they've drawn up.

Martinez says the current pre-season training programme and arranged friendly encounters are the perfect warm-up for when the new season arrives.

"We've got plenty of games lined-up with a few confirmed already," said the Spaniard.

"We'll be travelling to Austria again where as well completing a specific training programme we'll also play two games before heading back home.

"Over here we've got a game against Oldham Athletic away, a few behind-closed-door games to give us the necessary fitness exercises we need, and we've also announced the only pre-season friendly to take place at the DW Stadium against Real Zaragoza which will be a fantastic challenge for both sides."
