It is understood the new physio will not act as a direct replacement for Tony Strudwick, whose role was more senior as head of sports science and medicine and left for Arsenal earlier this month.

Antonio Quintela, who joined the Owls from Porto in July 2017, is listed as head physio on the club website.
