Latics players return to club for pre-season training! Photo Special from Christoipher Park

The majority of the Wigan Athletic squad returned to the club for pre-season today, and were put through a rigorous double training regime involving fitness work in the morning and ball-work in the afternoon.

Four of the five new signings were present, Titus Bramble, Andreas Granqvist, Antoine Sibierski and Carlo Nash, with Mario Melchiot - along with the other players to have been on international duty during the summer - given an extra few days off. They will all return to the club next week.
