Wigan captain Gary Caldwell is willing to play through the pain barrier to lead the team out in the FA Cup final.

Caldwell knows it will be a huge occasion on Saturday and has dared to dream about what it would mean to lift the first major trophy in Wigan's history.
"It would be really big to lead the side out at Wembley," he added. "When you're at a club and you're doing something no one has done before in that club's history, it's a massive thing.
"The semi-final was the first Wigan had been to and we came through it. Now we have the chance to win the FA Cup. It would be a phenomenal story.
"This is a unique club. I've played for Celtic which is a huge one on a world scale. But I came here to play in the Premier League, knowing it was a smaller club.
"It's a family club, a friendly club and there are people who have been here since the days of the old stadium in the lower leagues.
"To do something the club hasn't done before would be huge. We're giving people who have been involved for 30 years a massive day out at Wembley. That's special."
