Wigan may have lost their skipper, Arjan de Zeeuw, for their last two crucial matches in their battle for Premiership survival. The centre-back suffered an ankle injury against West Ham on Saturday and is out of this weekend’s clash with Boro and is a major doubt for the final crunch game against Sheffield United. Wigan could turn to Unsworth to fill the centre-back role or move Boyce to the centre and recall Taylor at right-back.
