Koumas set to make Latics return

Wigan manager Roberto Martinez has almost a fully-fit squad for the Premier League visit of West Ham to the DW Stadium on Saturday.

Koumas: Hoping to feature

Forward Olivier Kapo has returned to training this week after a knee ligament injury sustained in pre-season but will take some time to get match-fit.

Midfielder Jason Koumas has recovered from a muscle problem which kept him out of the Latics' defeat at Everton nearly a fortnight ago.

Martinez will assess the fitness of his international players, particularly those who travelled long distances like Hondurans Hendry Thomas and Maynor Figueroa.

Wigan (from): Kirkland, Melchiot, Scharner, Bramble, Figueroa, N'Zogbia, Thomas, Diame, Koumas, Gomez, Rodallega, Edman, Boyce, Watson, Cho, Sinclair, Scotland, King, McCarthy, Pollitt.
