Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday have been given a boost as Steven Fletcher returns to fitness, with the 31-year-old clocking 65 minutes in the Owls under-23s match against Derby County yesterday.

Owls chairman Dejphon Chansiri has also asked fans to keep the faith that the season can be a success with the existing group of players, after it was revealed the club are under a temporary transfer embargo.
