Sheffield Wednesday host Coventry City in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Sheffield Wednesday welcome 6th place Coventry City to Hillsborough tomorrow, in what promises to be another tough outing for Danny Rohl and his players.
The Owls find themselves in 22nd place of the Championship table after a 4-0 defeat vs Southampton last time out, with four points the gap to safety.
Coventry meanwhile are up in 6th. They’ve lost just one of their last 12 in the league and beat leaders Leicester City 3-1 in their last outing.
Wednesday met with the Sky Blues in Coventry last month, losing 2-0; the two teams are also set to meet next weekend in the FA Cup.
Sheffield Wednesday team news latest
The first-team injury list is looking pretty light for Sheffield Wednesday right now.
Dominic Iorfa remains a longer-term absentee, along with summer signing Juan Delgado; Rohl recently revealed that Jeff Hendrick has returned to training as he steps up his return to action.
Callum Paterson has also been ruled out for a significant amount of time, with what remains an unknown injury following his absence through concussion.
But Rohl says that George Byers is ready to return to the squad tonight after serving a three-game suspension.
How will Danny Rohl line up against Coventry City?
Once again, there remains a big debate surrounding who will start in goal; Cameron Dawson or James Beadle.
Dawson didn’t make any glaring errors against Southampton, though he didn’t pull off any spectacular saves either. Rohl though may once again feel that this would be a tough game for Beadle to make his debut in.
In defence, there’s cries for 26-year-old Bambo Diaby to finally be dropped after his calamitous display vs Southampton, whilst Marvin Johnson looks set to feature amid widespread reports that he’s wanted by Ipswich Town.
Whether or not Byers returns to the XI remains to be seen; Rohl may have to start one of Will Vaulks, Momo Diaby, or Byers with Di’Shon Bernard likely to return to defence; the 27-year-old Diaby is yet to start a league game under Rohl.
The attacking line up could be unchanged from Southampton.
