Garry Monk provides update on Sheffield Wednesday's improving fitness crisis ahead of Charlton Athletic visit

Owls boss Garry Monk suggested Fletcher would be included on the bench for Wednesday evening’s clash despite ‘not being fully fit at all’, with Fox’s involvement to be decided on his recovery from those 45 minutes in the Midlands.

But the manager reported less positive news on the condition of injured trio Adam Reach, Massimo Luongo and Moses Odubajo, who will miss out with toe, calf and hamstring injuries respectively.

Asked whether any of them would feature in the clash Monk said: “It doesn't look likely. Massimo still has another week or so, Adam is going OK but won't be available this week.

“Mo, probably not this week and even Morgan and Fletch, they're not fully fit.

“Steven has trained for three days, Morgan has only trained one day, but it's a case of needs must, and the leadership side of it with those two especially.

“Hopefully Birmingham will have done them good, we'll keep building.”

Wednesday face Derby County at Hillsborough following the Charlton clash hoping to end a run of home form that has seen them fail to score at home this year.

Owls boss Monk has reiterated the importance of improving their home form.
