Rochdale have no fresh injuries for their Sky Bet League One clash with Wigan as they seek to extend a three-match unbeaten run.
The squad came through Saturday's 3-3 home draw with promotion-chasing Portsmouth unscathed. Longer-term absentees Andy Cannon (fractured cheekbone), Niall Canavan (ankle) and Keith Keane (groin) remain out, however.
Boss Keith Hill made just one change against Pompey - Stephen Humphrys came in for Ryan Delaney - and adjustments are likely to be kept to a minimum once more.
Wigan midfielder Shaun MacDonald is available for selection but is unlikely to be risked. The Welshman has yet to make an appearance this season because of a knee problem but has resumed full training and could play if required.
"If it comes to the stage when we put Shaun on the bench or recall him to start, I'd have no problems doing it that's for sure," boss Paul Cook said. Wigan have a fully-fit squad from which to select as they close in on promotion from League One.
Rochdale have lost each of their last six games against Wigan in all competitions - failing to score on each occasion and conceding a total of eight goals.
In fact, the Latics have kept clean sheets in 13 of their last 18 games in all comps against the Dale.
The Dale have won just one of their last nine home league games, though six of these have ended level (L2).
Wigan have won more points on the road than any other League One side this season (41), though they did their last away game (1-2 at Portsmouth).
