Shrewsbury v Wigan preview

Nathaniel Knight-Percival
Image: Nathaniel Knight-Percival: Starts three-game ban

Nathaniel Knight-Percival is suspended for Shrewsbury's game with Wigan.

The defender was sent off in last week's 1-1 draw with Port Vale and starts the first of a three-game ban against Latics.

James Wallace (knee) and Matt Tootle (concussion) are doubtful and will be assessed by Town.

Boss Micky Mellon will have Dominic Smith available though after the defender returned from international duty with Wales Under-21s.

Michael Jacobs might hope to be included as Wigan bid to extend their 18-game unbeaten streak.

The former Wolves winger has missed two-and-a-half months of action - 11 matches - with a calf injury he suffered against Crewe in January but made a successful return in a midweek development game.

Jacobs scored one goal and set up another as Latics thrashed Burton in a shadow version of a top-two League One clash. A place on the bench at Greenhous Meadow will be the best he can hope for, however.
