Team News: Blackpool welcome back Darren O'Dea for crunch Wigan Athletic clash

Blackpool welcome back O'Dea for Wigan clash

Blackpool defender Darren O'Dea has shrugged off an ankle injury to face Wigan Athletic in their Championship relegation scrap.

The Irishman will start at centre-back, with Charles Dunne beginning a three-match suspension and Niall Maher out with a groin strain.

Wigan have made just one change for the match, with goalkeeper Scott Carson replacing Ali Al-Habsi between the sticks.

Striker Leon Clarke was given a fitness test ahead of the game following a shoulder injury and will start the afternoon on the bench.

Blackpool: Lewis, McMahon, Aldred, Hall, O'Dea, O'Hara, Perkins, Ferguson, Cameron, Telford, Madine

Wigan: Carson, Boyce, Maguire, Pearce, Bong, Perch, Kim Bo-kyung, Pennant, McClean, Ojo, Fortune
