“It’s great to have those two back in training,” Moore said of Dele-Bashiru and Gregory.

"They are in the squad, so if they are in the squad I would say they are available for selection because we feel they have done enough.

"They have got some more to do but they are in a good place. You can never have enough attacking options, so to have Lee back in and around it – as with Fizz – it’s a wonderful boost for us.”

The Owls chief, whose team has won seven of their last eight matches to move up to fifth in League One, did not say whether there were any fresh injury concerns for him to deal with ahead of tomorrow’s match.
