Wigan boss Paul Cook has no new injury or suspension worries for his side's home game against Charlton on Friday evening.
Cook named an unchanged starting line-up for the goalless home draw against Shrewsbury on Boxing Day, but may want to make one or two changes.
Winger Ryan Colclough is hoping to feature after recovering from illness - he was left out of the squad against Shrewsbury - while Ivan Toney and Max Power are also pushing for recalls.
Defender Craig Morgan (hip), goallkeeper Jamie Jones (shoulder) and midfielder Shaun MacDonald (broken leg) are still out.
Leon Best, Chris Solly and Mark Marshall will be monitored by Charlton ahead of the trip.
Best and Solly missed the 3-1 defeat at Southend on Boxing Day with calf injuries, while Marshall also sat out the game after sustaining a knock against Blackpool.
Boss Karl Robinson described his side's display at Roots Hall as "atrocious", "appalling" and "naive" and had his players watching a video nasty of the match at 7am on Wednesday.
With that in mind, the likes of Johnnie Jackson and Harry Lennon could be restored to the starting line-up.
The previous two matches between the Latics and the Addicks in the Football League have ended 3-0 to the away side (3-0 to Charlton at the DW Stadium in February 2016 and 3-0 to Wigan at the Valley in September 2017).
Before that 3-0 defeat in February 2016, Wigan had never lost a home league match against Charlton (W2 D1), with two of those victories against the Addicks coming in the Premier League.
Charlton are winless in six league games (D2 L4), scoring just four goals during that time. This is their worst such winless run since March (eight games).
Wigan have lost just three of their opening 23 games in League One this season. The last time they had three or fewer losses at this stage of a season was in 2004/05 (two losses), when they were promoted to the Premier
