Elliott Bennett assessed as Shrewsbury prepare to host promotion-chasing Wigan

Elliott Bennett assessed as Shrewsbury prepare to host promotion-chasing Wigan

Shrewsbury have been assessing Elliott Bennett ahead of their season-concluding clash with Sky Bet League One leaders Wigan on Saturday.

The wing-back has been missing for the last two games while recovering from an ankle injury.

The Shrews have also been without Ethan Ebanks-Landell (knee) and David Davis (ankle).

Steve Cotterill’s men head into their final match of the campaign lying 17th in the table.

There is a chance of James McClean returning to action for Wigan at Montgomery Waters Meadow.

The winger has been working towards fitness after suffering a knee injury against Bolton on April 2.

Curtis Tilt (hamstring), Tom Bayliss (groin) and Josh Magennis (Achilles) remain unavailable.

Leam Richardson’s Latics will guarantee automatic promotion by claiming a point from the contest, with them currently lying three clear of third-placed MK Dons, while they are two ahead of second-placed Rotherham.
