The dynamic forward makes his first league start under boss Garry Monk and could be deployed on the left hand side in a 4-4-2 formation.

Forestieri, who has scored one goal in nine appearances this season, is one of four changes. Captain Tom Lees, Sam Hutchinson and Atdhe Nuhiu have also been recalled. Nuhiu looks set to partner six-goal top-scorer Steven Fletcher in attack.

Goalkeeper Keiren Westwood (shoulder) misses out again while centre-half Julian Börner serves a one-match suspension after collecting five yellow cards.

Scotland international Liam Palmer completes the second of a three-match ban.

Tenth-placed Wednesday will be chasing a first league win in six matches.

Owls: Dawson; Odubajo, Lees, Iorfa, Fox; Harris, Hutchinson, Bannan, Forestieri; Nuhiu, Fletcher. Substitutes: Jones, Lee, Pelupessy, Winnall, Murphy, Reach, Luongo.
