Duo to miss Swans trip

Wigan will be without defender Antolin Alcaraz and winger Albert Crusat for Saturday's trip to Swansea.

Alcaraz has not played since the Capital One Cup win over Nottingham Forest at the end of August due to a groin injury and is likely to be out for another couple of weeks at least. Crusat, meanwhile, has a knee problem so he will also miss out on the clash at the Liberty Stadium as the Latics aim for just their second Premier League win of the season. Boss Roberto Martinez will also monitor Maynor Figueroa and Jean Beausejour closely after their long international trips with Honduras and Chile respectively over the past week. Neither player has picked up a knock but the length of their trips could mean Martinez will decide to give one or both a rest against the Swans.
