Wigan wait on Emile Heskey ahead of Newcastle game
WIAGN boss Steve Bruce is sweating on the fitness of Emile Heskey.
Heskey is rated 50-50 to return after aggravating a hamstring problem last weekend.
Daniel de Ridder deputised against Arsenal but Bruce could elect for a more attacking line-up and pair Henri Camara up front with top scorer Amr Zaki.
Newcastle defender Steven Taylor (groin) missed Sunday’s 2-1 defeat at Fulham with a groin problem and is not yet ready to return, so Claudio Cacapa who deputised at Craven Cottage, and Sebastien Bassong are standing by.
