The former England youth international, who last stepped out in Wednesday’s 1-1 home draw with Lincoln City back in October, will play in the Owls’ under-23 clash with Crewe Alexandra this afternoon.

Out-of-favour wide man Jaden Brown will also feature.

Iorfa suffered a hip injury which is understood to have required surgery. His absence has been one of many suffered to defensive options by Wednesday in recent months.

The news comes as a welcome boost to Darren Moore’s men, who welcome Lewis Gibson back in Saturday’s 3-1 win at Doncaster Rovers. An injury to Sam Hutchinson is also not likely to be as bad as first feared.

Iorfa’s return could end up posing a selection headache for Moore, who could have Chey Dunkley back in the coming weeks, with Harlee Dean to come in towards the end of the season.
