Warren Feeney will miss Latics' final pre-season friendly against Preston North End at Boundary Park on Saturday.

 

The 29-year-old striker limped out of last night's friendly win against Bolton with an ankle injury.

 

Feeney received a whack on his ankle in the opening minutes and tried unsuccessfully to run it off.

 

"We will have to see how the ankle settles down in the next 48 hours before we know the extent of the injury, but he won't be fit for Saturday," explained manager Paul Dickov.

 

Midfield man Ritchie Jones also limped out of the match in the second half after taking a blow to the back of his leg.

 

Jones described it as a "dead leg" and says he does not envisage the injury keeping him out of Saturday's game.

Warren Feeney has been poor in pre season and got injured at the wrong time.

 

 

I saw Feeney at the petrol station after the game and noticed that he was in a plastic support. He doesn't seem to think that it is too bad and will hopefully be back for Saturday.

 

The lads commented on how physical Bolton were especially for a a pre season game. All credit to the boys out there though, not rattled, gave it back and got on with things. I remember that Stephens took a bad tackle and just got up and carried on. Great attitude and if we can do simple things like win the first balls then we will do ok this season.

 

Feeney seemed very enthisiastic about being here and what Dickov and Taggart 'Tags' has asked of the players so far, also mentioned that he just wants to be fit for Latics as we pay his wages and that he has already earned his caps with NI.

 

If all players have this attitude then things are looking up!
