Bruce to check on int'l contingent

Wigan manager Steve Bruce must assess his international contingent before naming his side for Saturday's Premier League clash with Sunderland.Jason Koumas (ankle) was ruled out of Wales' trip to Russia while Maynor Figueroa, Wilson Palacios, Antonio Valencia and Amr Zaki return to the club on Friday.

Emile Heskey is fit after impressing for England though, and Kevin Kilbane came through unscathed for the Republic of Ireland, wearing a mask to protect the fractured cheekbone he suffered in Wigan's 5-0 win at Hull last time out.

Wigan (from): Kirkland, Melchiot, Boyce, Scharner, Figueroa, Valencia, Cattermole, Palacios, Kilbane, Heskey, Zaki, Bramble, Brown, Camara, De Ridder, Kapo, Koumas, Kupisz, Taylor, Pollitt.
