Hugo Rodallega is in contention for his first starting berth of the new season when Wigan Athletic take on QPR this weekend.
The Colombian, who scored nine goals for the Latics last season, has been resigned to two subs appearances following his Copa America duties earlier in the summer but he is likely to start against the R's at DW Stadium on Saturday.
Roberto Martinez will certainly be without key defender Antolin Alcaraz, who faces two months on the sidelines with a thigh injury, whilst Victor Moses is in doubt after suffering a knock at Swansea City last week.
