WIGAN are without Henri Camara and Lee McCulloch for the Premiership clash with Chelsea at the JJB Stadium.

Camara faces up to six weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury, while McCulloch starts a three-match suspension for punching Chris Morgan last weekend.

That could lead to Svetoslav Todorov starting his first game since joining Wigan on loan from Portsmouth at the end of August.

Gary Teale is back in training after a lengthy lay-off with a hamstring problem, but Antonio Valencia, Paul Scharner, Steve McMillan and Ryan Taylor are out.

Chelsea captain John Terry remains doubtful for the match.

The England skipper has missed the last two Chelsea games due to a recurrence of a back injury, and Khalid Boulahrouz will deputise once more if he fails to declare himself fit.

Manager Jose Mourinhoés only other major concern is over goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini. The Italian is still struggling with a muscle injury. Joe Cole is out with a broken foot.

Wigan Athletic: Kirkland, Jackson, Hall, Kilbane, Cywka, Johansson, Landzaat, Heskey, Boyce, Cotterill, Skoko, Baines, De Zeeuw, Wright, Webster, Todorov, Teale, Pollitt.

Chelsea: Hilario, Hedman, Cudicini, Geremi, Carvalho, Terry, Boulahrouz, Ferreira, A Cole, Bridge, Lampard, Essien, Makelele, Ballack, Drogba, Shevchenko, Robben, Wright-Phillips, Diarra, Mikel, Kalou.
