Sheffield Wednesday: Jack Hunt plays down knee injury he suffered in Brighton and Hove Albion defeat
Jack Hunt has today allayed fears over the knee injury he sustained in the Owls' defeat to promotion rivals Brighton and Hove Albion.
The attacking right-back was stretchered off in the first half of Friday's duel after being caught by a careless high tackle by Sebastien Pocognoli.
Hunt, who has played 17 times this campaign, left the ground on crutches as a precautionary measure and boss Carlos Carvalhal confirmed he would be assessed over the weekend.
But the 26-year-old is optimistic he will make a speedy recovery from the knock.
