Goodison: On international duty

The centre-back is still away on international duty as he prepares to play for Jamaica in a World Cup qualifier against Mexico in Kingston.

Gambia wanted Rovers winger Ed Sonko to travel to Africa for a World Cup qualifier against Liberia in Banjul on Saturday.

But the Gambian FA failed to give Tranmere the required 15-day notice of the call-up and Sonko is therefore expected to line up against the Latics after scoring the winner in midweek against Accrington.

Young defender Godwin Antwi (ankle) and midfielder Gareth Edds (groin) are both doubtful after missing the Johnstone's Paint Trophy win over Stanley on Tuesday, while Antony Kay will also undergo a fitness test.
