The Colombian striker is set to make his return against Everton this weekend.
Rodallega has missed Wigan’s last three games after being sent off against Manchester United in November.
“It’s a massive boost to have Hugo available again,” Martinez told the Wigan Observer.
“From a mental point of view you couldn’t get anyone with more of a desire to get out there.
“It’s been so frustrating for him, and in many ways a learning process for him.
“I’m sure he’s learned his lesson from what happened and he’s desperate to make amends on Saturday.”
