Wolves vs Wigan Athletic preview - Evans doubt for Wolves

Posted Friday, October 03, 2014 by PA

Lee Evans is a major doubt for Wolves' clash with Wigan after he limped off in their 3-1 defeat to Huddersfield.

The midfielder has a nerve problem with his hamstring and is rated 50-50 to be fit.

Matt Doherty missed the loss with an ankle injury and was replaced by captain Sam Ricketts, who had been struggling with a hip problem, but could be available.

Hull loanee Yannick Sagbo made his full debut against the Terriers and is likely to start against the Latics.

Wigan will assess Emmerson Boyce after he picked up a knock in the midweek draw with Nottingham Forest.

Captain Boyce lasted just 45 minutes before succumbing to a leg injury and the central defender was later pictured on crutches at the DW Stadium.

Manager Uwe Rosler may be left short in the central-defensive department after also revealing Rob Kiernan missed out against Forest through injury.

Latics, who are yet to win on the road this season and are now just one place above the drop zone, remain without midfield pair Ben Watson (broken leg) and Chris McCann (knee).
