Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl spoke to the press on Thursday afternoon, ahead of the trip to Portsmouth.
Sheffield Wednesday travel to Portsmouth on Friday night in a 450 mile round trip for the Owls.
But as ever, Sheffield Wednesday fans have sold out the game, despite it being shown live on Sky Sports, and despite some divisive performances of late.
Returning from the international break, the Owls lost 2-0 against Burnley at Hillsborough, with Sheffield Wednesday fans critical of Yan Valery whose mistake lead to Burnley’s opener.
Then on Tuesday night, Sheffield Wednesday drew 0-0 with Swansea City, failing to register a single shot on target, with just the one shot on target for both sides.
One player who missed the Portsmouth game was Anthony Musaba; the Dutchman missed out with what was thought to be a minor knock.
On Thursday, Danny Rohl shared the latest on Musaba ahead of the Pompey game.

Anthony Musaba injury update at Sheffield Wednesday
Musaba, 23, has featured 10 times in the Championship this season, scoring once and assisting twice.
Last season, the Dutchman made 43 Championship appearances and scored seven goals with five assists.
Musaba has faced criticism from Sheffield Wednesday fans at times this season, but on the whole he remains an important player.
Rohl cleared the winger to feature on Friday, saying in his presser: “Anthony Musaba is good, he trained today and it’s good to have him back as an option.”

Will Anthony Musaba start for Sheffield Wednesday against Portsmouth?
The Swansea game in midweek was certainly a frustrating watch for the Owls faithful, with Wednesday looking rather lacklustre in attack.
Sheffield Wednesday fans blasted Svante Ingelsson for his performance, with the Swede looking uncomfortable in the left attacking midfield position, also missing Wednesday’s best chance of the game.
Musaba, should he be fit enough to do so, will surely come into the XI on Friday; although he’s got his flaws and still has plenty of room for improvement, he’s always a bright spark when he’s on the pitch.
He’s someone who can carry the ball from deep, get in behind opposition defences and create scoring chances.
Musaba simply needs to work on his end product, which Rohl will no doubt hope comes with time and patience.
Portsmouth currently sit in last place of the Championship table and have won just one league game all season.
