Wigan striker Di Santo eager to step up fitness drive during break

Wigan Athletic striker Franco di Santo is looking to recharge the batteries during the international break.

The Argentine striker is still feeling his way back after picking up a calf injury last month at Manchester United.

"I am nearly back to 100%, and hopefully by the end of this international break I'll be back to where I was," Di Santo told the Wigan Evening Post.

"This break is a good opportunity for everyone to work on their fitness as well as skills, and I don't think I am far away from where I want to be.

"I wasn't happy with the tackle at Old Trafford but I also appreciate it could have been much worse.

"That's all in the past now, though, it's forgotten. All that matters is the next game against Swansea."
