Figueroa set to return against Cats

The Honduras international left-back, originally signed by Bruce for Latics, is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a knee injury and was on the bench for last Sunday’s 9-1 humiliation at Tottenham.
Erik Edman, who endured a torrid time at White Hart Lane, would be the man to drop out for the Premier League clash against the Black Cats at the DW Stadium.
Wigan (from): Kirkland, Edman, Bramble, Scharner, Melchiot, Figueroa, Boyce, N’Zogbia, Diame, Thomas, Scotland, Koumas, Sinclair, Rodallega, Amaya, De Ridder, Pollitt, Cho, Gomez.
