After what can only be described as an assault on Sheffield United captain Chris Morgan, Wigan Athletic's Lee McCulloch has been banned for three matches.

Lee McCulloch: Three matches
The Scottish international forward has added to Paul Jewell's selection headache. He is set to miss the Chelsea, Manchester United and Watford games.

Paul Scharner and Henri Camara are also set to miss the games through injury. As a result Dutch international midfielder Denny Landzaat is likely to get a further chance to impress in midfield.

Kevin Kilbane is set for a return to the left wing with David Cotterill and Josip Skoko finishing off the midfield.

United captain Morgan said: "Lee was man enough to come and knock on the door, put his arm round me and apologise. That's enough for me. That's it. It's finished. Let's get on with it.
