The winger’s only appearance this season came in the 4-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the third round of the Capital One Cup, while he only made five starts in all competitions in the entirety of last season following a string of injuries.

The Latics, who host Queens Park Rangers at the weekend, are currently priced at 11/2 to secure an immediate return to the Premier League.
