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

Garry Monk, who was subjected to calls to be sacked after the defeat at Wycombe on Saturday, will be boosted by the return of defender Tom Lees after he sat out the game at Adams Park following his dismissal against Rotherham last Wednesday.

However, the Owls boss will be without towering defender Aden Flint, who went off with a hamstring injury in the defeat against Rotherham, and Joost van Aken will also be missing as completes his three-match suspension after being red-carded in the 1-0 reverse against Luton Town at Hillsborough last month.

Once again, influential midfielder Massimo Luongo is expected to be sidelined as he continues his recovery from a knee injury which has kept him out for nearly a month.

Liam Shaw (ankle) and Chey Dunkley are also still missing, but the latter could be in contention for selection after the international break after recovering from a double leg break suffered while playing for former club Wigan Athletic last season.

Izzy Brown may start in midfield after making an appearance as a second half substitute on Saturday.

As for the Cherries, manager Jason Tindall could welcome back Colombian midfielder Jefferson Lerma who has not featured since coming off with a hamstring injury after 18 minutes at Watford last month.

Defender defender Lloyd Kelly may also be back after being rested against Derby County on Saturday, with Tindall saying the England under-21 international missed the 1-1 draw because he is ‘managing his workload’.
