De Zeeuw makes return

Arjan De Zeeuw: Return to action tonight

De Zeeuw, delighted to be returning, told the club's official website: "It's been a really frustrating time for me over the past weeks. I'm no good to the team if I can't play, but thankfully, the lads have done magnificently to turn around the season and with some of the other injured lads coming back, we are starting to get some fierce competition for places back in the team again, which is good for Wigan Athletic.

"I'll have to see how it goes on a personal level. This is my first run out but the next game is two weeks away so we'll have to see how iut goes over the next ten days in training."

Meanwhile, thre are concerns eminating from Norway as to the future of Kristofer Haestad who has yet to feature for the club since his debut in the defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Norway coach Age Hareide said: "Yes, I am a bit worried for him. It would have been very good for 'Doffen's' progress to get to play at the top level at this point.

"Though he is getting matches for the reserves and did reasonably well against Croatia."

Haestad will also be looking to impress in tonight's game.
