Jason Roberts: Should be fit for the new season
Roberts told the clubs official website:"No player likes getting injured, but I suppose if there's a good time have a problem now is it.

"I'll be focusing all my energy on getting fit for the start of the pre-season campaign or as close it as possible. I have a first class medical team around me at Latics and they'll make sure everything is done properly.

"I'm so excited about the prospect of playing in the top-flight for Wigan next season and this injury won't cause any problems for that."

Roberts managed 21 goals for the Latics last season and is eager to prove his critics wrong next season as the Latics look to impress in the top division.

The fans' favourite will have a further scan during his summer holidays to give the club's fitness staff a better idea of how he is doing.
