Jordan Cousins will be out of action for Wigan as they face Lincoln in Sky Bet League One.

The midfielder has sustained a hamstring problem and is set to be out for a number of weeks.

Full-back Joe Bennett also remains a doubt as he continues to recover from a knee injury.

Leam Richardson’s side have remained unchanged for the last two games and he could tinker with the starting line-up for the visit of the Imps.

Lincoln defender Joe Walsh will miss the trip as he recovers from a quad injury, which is expected to keep him out for six weeks.

Captain Liam Bridcutt is also a doubt after sustaining a knee injury.

Manager Michael Appleton was handed a boost at the weekend after 17-year-old Freddie Draper came off the bench against Sheffield Wednesday to make his debut for the side.

Appleton hinted that Draper could feature again after telling the club website post-match that the forward “certainly has a lot of attributes to give himself a chance”.
