Martinez: Alcaraz will help Wigan regroup
WIGAN boss Roberto Martinez hopes the return of defender Antolin Alcaraz from his three-match suspension will help his struggling side regroup after the defeat by Arsenal.
Paraguay international Alcaraz is available for Saturday’s clash with West Brom after serving a three-game ban for spitting at Wolves defender Richard Stearman last month.
Wigan have dashed Blackpool’s hopes of keeping Callum McManaman beyond next month. Martinez said: “He’ll be returning a more mature and confident player. It has been great to see Callum enjoying his football and growing while at Blackpool.”
