Jermaine Johnson, who signed a short-term contract from Bolton, may have played his last game for the Latics. Johnson is banned for the last two games of the season and the Boundary Park club are pondering whether to keep the in-form striker or not.

Brian Talbot said, “I will speak to JJ, but decisions won’t be made about any player until the season has finished. Myself and the owners have discussed the situation at a board meeting, and we agreed that concentrating on staying up was the most important thing. JJ is a player who can make you tear your hair out — he is brilliant one minute and very disappointing the next. He is also a talented lad with lots of pace, so we’ll see what happens after our last game on May 8th.”
