Discussion around Sheffield Wednesday’s strongest line-up after the international break will gather pace as The Owls return to training.
The squad has been pictured back at Middlewood Road on Wednesday morning after being given some time off following the win against Salford City in the EFL Trophy last week. Preparations will now be stepped up as they look towards games against Sunderland under-21s and Huddersfield Town.
The break has allowed some players to get closer to overcoming injuries and time on the training ground to sharpen up their patterns of play, relationships and style. With that in mind, let’s take a look at what their best line-up could be as they kick-on towards the next part of the season...
9. Callum Slattery - CAM
Made a big impression in the 10 early doors. Full of energy, perfect for Wednesday's pressing style. A shift out wide didn't really work. A central role seems to be where he is most effective. | Steve Ellis
10. Harry Gray - LW
The Leeds United loanee had bright moments on the left before time out of the side with concussion. Showed similar signs off the bench v Stockport. Has played wide left for England's youths and grabbed an assist. Is he the answer while Louie Barry remains out? | Getty Images
11. Davis Keillor-Dunn - ST
Scored his first Wednesday goal in a central role against Salford City. If Slattery is in the 10, should DKD be moved further forward to lead the line? Bagged for fun for Barnsley when he did. Fans don't want to see him on the wing, that's for sure. But then do you leave out your top scorer in Jamal Lowe? | Steve Ellis
