Grigg KO hammer blow for Wigan Athletic
The striker was only sent on as a substitute with 11 minutes remaining, but still found time to hit the bar with his side’s best chance in the 1-0 defeat, before pulling up lame in the closing stages.
He manfully struggled through to the end but has already returned to Wigan for assessment and treatment, ruling him out of Monday night’s trip to Bosnia-Herzegovina.

James Vaughan has also been out through injury, although he’s now back to full fitness, with Joe Garner the only other recognised striker at the club ahead of a crucial spell in the lead-up to the festive season.
