Wigan boss Martinez expects total commitment from Rodallega

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez stands by keeping hold of striker Hugo Rodallega during the January market.

The Colombian is out of contract at the end of the season.

But the Wigan boss insisted that would not be a distraction, saying: "The most important thing is Wigan Athletic and nothing will distract us as a group from concentrating on every performance.

"Individual cases, individual situations, are going to benefit or suffer from what we do as a group so it's not a real concern for anyone.

"What I'm delighted about is we've got a player of the quality of Hugo with us for the next 15 games. Hugo has shown over the last few seasons what an impact he can have on the football pitch and we need to make sure he's as sharp as he's always been."
