Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is happy to have fit-again James McCarthy back.
The midfielder struck twice in victory over Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
"We missed him too much," the Spaniard said. "He started the season really, really well and you quickly forget in football how good a player can be, or what an impact he can have on the squad.
"He's come back three weeks ahead of schedule, which is an insight into the type of character that he is. And the performance just showed that he's not a 20-year-old player, his tactical awareness and his quality is of someone more mature than that.
"Everyone is extremely proud of having James as a Wigan Athletic player."
