Hutchinson went down in the first half of the Owls’ 1-0 win over Fleetwood Town on Tuesday night and was subsequently replaced by Chey Dunkley at half time, but Moore has explained that it’s not a serious injury that they’ve got to worry about.

Wednesday have had a handful of injury niggles in recent weeks as Moore looks to try and manage the fitness levels of his team, but there looks set to be a boost for this weekend’s clash with the Millers in terms of Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee, Theo Corbeanu.

When asked about Hutchinson, Moore – who says they have no fresh injury concerns – told the media today, "We think it was general soreness with Sam from the volume of games. We will make a decision on Sam. He has had the last couple of days for it to settle down and he is feeling a lot, lot better. We will make a decision on him tomorrow.

"We did not want him to aggravate it… We have given him another 24 hours for it to settle down. The pleasing thing is it is not a long, sustaining injury."

Meanwhile, with Corbeanu, Moore said, “He’s had a good week’s training. He’s had a solid week, so we’re pleased to have him back around the squad. He trained well today, so he’ll be part of the squad.

In other news, Mide Shodipo – who was injured against Huddersfield Town – will miss this weekend’s clash as he continues his recovery from injury, but could be in contention to face Morecambe next week.
