Manager Chris Hutchings said: "I can honestly say that in all my time in the game, I haven't come across a better professional, a player who shows more dedication to his game or to his team mates.
"Hesk has been superb for this club, on and off the field and I am absolutely delighted for him. We have encouraged him to keep believing in himself and I think his magnificent consistency is the reason for his recall. He's a class act and I'm absolutely chuffed for him.
"This is a very proud day for Wigan Athletic as a club, a sign of how far we have come over the past few seasons. But it is also very important in that it shows that a player can come here and enhance his international credentials."
Good luck to Emile and England for the upcoming fixtures.
