Is there any injury news? Who is in the teams?

Owls boss Monk says he’s got an almost clean bill of health at Hillsborough at present – and it looks as though they’re now almost at full strength.

Osaze Urhoghide has been on the comeback trail after picking up a knee injury towards the end of last season, while Chey Dunkley hasn’t played since a double leg break earlier in the year.

The duo were both pictured in training as part of the full group on Tuesday, although it’s as yet unknown whether they were involved in full contact training.

Speaking after the Carabao Cup tie at Walsall on Saturday, the Wednesday boss said: “Chey is not far away… I knew him coming here he was going to be a little bit behind the others but he is working really hard and progressing every day.

"The same with Osaze. Hopefully we will get to that first game, or just after that, with a fully fit squad."

As for the Bluebirds, it looks like key man Lee Tomlin will be missing having not recovered from a knock he picked up in the play-off semi-final against Fulham last season.
