Burnley winger Fernando Guerrero played the full 90 minutes for the reserves earlier this week and may feature after overcoming his recent hamstring injury.
The Clarets, however, are still without Martin Paterson, Chris McCann (both knee) and Jay Rodriguez (ankle).
Wigan duo Chris Kirkland and Paul Scharner have both been rated 50-50 to play by manager Roberto Martinez.
Kirkland dislocated a finger during last Sunday's draw with Manchester City, while Scharner has a hip injury.
