Wigan will give Liam Marshall until later in the week to prove his fitness for Friday\u2019s derby with Leigh: with Matt Peet admitting it is down to him to decide whether Christian Wade is ready to feature.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marshall pulled out of the Wigan side that won at Castleford on Saturday evening with an ankle problem, having initially been a doubt to feature in the first place. Jacob Douglas replaced the England international on the wing.<\/p>\n

And while Peet admitted that Marshall is improving and was able to run on the problem on Tuesday, it is still not a guarantee he will feature at the Leigh Sports Village.<\/p>\n

Instead, they will give him as long as possible to show he can play.<\/p>\n

Peet said of Marshall: \u201cHe\u2019s alright. He\u2019s ran a bit today. We thought he\u2019d be good for last Friday but he wasn\u2019t, and it\u2019s a similar process this week. It\u2019ll be later in the week when we know.\u201d<\/p>\n

That has potentially heightened the chances of Christian Wade making his Super League debut as he continues to settle into life in rugby league.<\/p>\n

Peet admitted the decision is ultimately on him as he weighs up a variety of factors that could lead to Wade being handed a first start.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just on me,\u201d Peet said. \u201cNothing has changed from his perspective or team availability. It\u2019s just on me as the coach to put him in at the right time.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou weigh up everything; the opposition, how he has looked in training and the other players that are in contention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wigan have had some better injury news elsewhere though, with Jake Wardle cleared of any issues despite having treatment on a pec problem during the game at Castleford on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s alright,\u201d Peet said. \u201cWe thought we\u2019d have to get it scanned but he\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n
