Serbia international goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic has joined Wigan on loan from Sporting Lisbon until the end of the season and could make his debut against Aston Villa on Saturday.

First-choice Wigan goalkeeper Chris Kirkland has been hampered by injuries and backup Richard Kingson is away at the African Cup of Nations with Ghana.

Stojkovic is likely to be Serbia's first-choice goalkeeper at the World Cup in South Africa in June.
