Wigan to make late decision on forward Nick Powell ahead of Rotherham clash
Posted Friday, April 13, 2018 by PA
Wigan could have a decision to make on Nick Powell for the visit of Rotherham.
The forward limped out of Tuesday’s 4-1 win over Rochdale in midweek with a thigh injury, which was later scanned.
James Vaughan replaced him off the bench at Spotland and, with such a strong squad, boss Paul Cook is unlikely to risk Powell if he is not fully fit.
The Latics will surpass their 2015-16 League One title-winning points tally of 87 if they beat the Millers.
Rotherham will not rush Joe Mattock back from a hamstring injury.
The left-back has missed the last two games, but with Ben Purrington stepping into replace him, Mattock will be given time to recover fully.
Darren Potter played 60 minutes for the reserves on Thursday as he hopes to step up his recovery from an Achilles injury which has kept him out since December.
There are no fresh concerns for boss Paul Warne, who still has Jamie Proctor as a long-term injury absentee.
