Sibierski blow for Wigan
Wigan’s Antoine Sibierski is unlikely to face Blackburn after sustaining a calf injury while preparing to come on against Bolton last week.
Striker Emile Heskey is still struggling with a foot injury – but he and Marcus Bent (shin) should both be available for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League match.
Jason Koumas begins a three-match ban after being sent off against Bolton, so Kevin Kilbane is expected to come into the Latics’ midfield at Ewood Park.
Provisional squad: Kirkland, Melchiot, Scharner, Boyce, Edman, Valencia, Brown, Palacios, Kilbane, Heskey, King, Bramble, Sibierski, Taylor, Pollitt, Aghahowa, Bent, Olembe, Skoko.
