Burnley at Wigan Athletic: early team news
4:15pm Friday 19th March 2010 in
Scotland striker Steven Fletcher will return for Burnley at Wigan tomorrow after missing three games with a broken hand.
Steven Caldwell (groin) and Chris McCann (knee) are unavailable as Burnley look to improve on a dismal record which shows they having taken just one point from 15 away matches this season.
Danny Fox is in the squad despite being taken to hospital after the Wolves match with a suspected broken rib.

N’Zogbia took a knock on his hip during the defeat by Aston Villa on Tuesday and is rated 50-50 by manager Roberto Martinez.
Captain Mario Melchiot is due to return to training after a thigh injury but is not expected to feature tomorrow.
Burnley from: Jensen, Alexander, Mears, Fox, Carlisle, Bikey, Cort, Jordan, Eagles, Edgar, Elliott, Cork, McDonald, Paterson, Fletcher, Nugent, Blake, Thompson, Duff, Penny, Gudjonsson, Weaver, Rodriguez.
Wigan provisional squad: Kirkland, Stojkovic, Pollitt, Boyce, Bramble, Caldwell, Amaya, Figueroa, N’Zogbia, Diame, Thomas, McCarthy, Scharner, Gomez, Koumas, Moses, Sinclair, Rodallega, Scotland, Moreno.

Just proves what I keep saying about spending money, taking a risk and letting quality players do the rest.
