Cuco Martina could make his Stoke debut for visit of Wigan

Defender Cuco Martina could make his Stoke debut as Wigan visit in the Sky Bet Championship on Wednesday.

The Curacao international, signed on a season-long loan from Everton, has been building up his fitness in the under-23s side and will be assessed ahead of the game.

Midfielder Bruno Martins Indi missed Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Preston with an Achilles injury.

Sam Clucas, who joined the club on deadline day, continues to recover from a knee operation in May.

Wigan are still without midfielder Darron Gibson (groin) but are hopeful the former Manchester United player will be fit in the coming weeks.

Summer signings Dan Burn and Joe Garner also remain on the sidelines.

Winger Gavin Massey looks to have proved his fitness after a hamstring injury by playing 89 minutes of Saturday’s draw with Nottingham Forest.

Midfielder Nathan Byrne will also hope for more game time after making his comeback from injury as a late substitute at the weekend.
