MANAGER QUOTES
"For me as manager, it is simple. Saturday's performance and result has to be the lowest point. We have 19 games to go this season and everyone knows what the aim and objective is. We are in a battle, we have to face it head on. There is no point hiding that. I want to see a reaction from my players," Darren Ferguson said.
ONE TO WATCH
THELO AASGAARD
Aasgaard joined the youth academy of Wigan Athletic at the age of 14, having previously been a part of the youth set-up at Liverpool, and signed scholarship forms with the club in 2018. His progress in the academy ranks was interrupted by injuries during the following two seasons, but he impressed enough for his scholarship deal to be extended for a third year in 2020.
As a result of Wigan being put into administration in the 2019–20 season, and the team's subsequent relegation from the Championship, Aasgaard was promoted to the club's first-team squad along with several other academy players for their 2020–21 League One campaign.
Aasgaard made his professional debut with Wigan in a 1–0 EFL League One loss at home to Posh on 20 October 2020. He scored his first goal for Wigan in a 2–1 defeat against Oxford United on 21 November 2020. In January 2021, Aasgaard signed his first professional contract with Wigan, signing until the summer of 2023. He ended his first season having played 35 times in all competitions, including 13 league starts, scoring three goals.
After a solid start to the 2021/22 season, Aasgaard signed an improved four-and-a-half-year contract, running until June 2026.
