Wigan Athletic vs Manchester City - Morsy missing as Wigan prepare to host City
Posted Saturday, February 17, 2018 by PA
Wigan will be without suspended skipper Sam Morsy for their fifth-round FA Cup tie against Manchester City.
Morsy received his 10th yellow card of the season in the midweek home defeat to Blackpool and starts a two-game ban.
James Vaughan and fellow recent signing Devante Cole are both unavailable having appeared earlier in this season’s competition for former clubs Sunderland and Fleetwood respectively.
Donervon Daniels is also cup-tied, while Shaun MacDonald and Jordan Flores remain long-term absentees. Boss Paul Cook has no new injury problems.
Claudio Bravo could return in goal for City.
The Chilean has played in all domestic cup matches this season as manager Pep Guardiola has rested first-choice Ederson.
Winger Leroy Sane and playmaker David Silva could continue their comebacks from injury after substitute appearances in midweek but the game probably comes too soon for striker Gabriel Jesus (knee) despite his return to training. Left-back Benjamin Mendy (knee) is still out.
