CHAMPIONS Wigan Athletic have an horrendous injury list ahead of their final away game at Ninian Park.

An intriguing contest is on the cards, with Cardiff City still chasing the second automatic promotion place.

Nathan Ellington and Jason De Vos have undergone surgery.

Andy Liddell won't play again this season after tearing a calf muscle.

Jason Jarrett and Matt Jackson also picked up knocks against Huddersfield and face late fitness tests.

Ian Breckin will again marshal the defence after spending most of this season on the bench.

Breckin expects a tough test against the high-flying Bluebirds. He said: "They're a good side who are particularly strong at home.

"I'm just glad to have been given a chance. I've had to stay focused throughout the whole campaign."

LAST SEASON: Cardiff 2 Wigan 2

KEY OPPONENT: Robert Earnshaw - always a thorn in Wigan's side.
