The Egypt striker has missed Wigan's last two games due to a groin injury.

The Latics coach Steve Bruce opted to rest him for the Chelsea match in order to have him fully fit for Wednesday's encounter against West Ham.

"It might be too much asking him to play Saturday and Wednesday. That might sound ridiculous to some, and I can understand them thinking that," Bruce said recently.

Wigan will also have to do without Ecuadorian winger Antonio Valencia due to a hamstring problem.

Mido, who joined from Middlesbrough on loan until the end of the season, scored one goal in three appearances for Wigan.
