One fresh injury concern but two back as Sheffield Wednesday head for Cambridge United

Sheffield Wednesday have a new minor injury concern – but an update on issues elsewhere was a positive one heading into this weekend’s trip to Cambridge United.

Defender Dominic Iorfa has picked up a knock sustained in contact during training and could miss out on the Abbey Stadium clash dependant on an 11th hour assessment.

It is hoped that at the very least the issue won’t keep him out of contention for the dead rubber Papa Johns Trophy fixture with Leicester City under-21s on Tuesday evening.

The good news is that senior pair George Byers and Mallik Wilks – who both fell the wrong side of late fitness tests last weekend.

“We picked up a little knock in training this week with Dominic Iorfa that we’ll have to assess,” Moore said.

“It’s nothing too serious, it’s just left him a little bit sore, so he’s the only one we’ve picked up.”

In terms of players to miss out, aside from Iorfa there are no further concerns and Moore heads to Cambridgeshire with a strong squad to choose from.

“There’s the usual suspects,” he said. “Akin [Famewo], Dennis [Adeniran], but Mallik Wilks is back in training, George Byers is back in training. Reece James is going to be a bit longer.

“But we’ll look at Dominic and assess things. It’s nothing too serious, but we’ll look at him for soreness.

“We’ll make a decision on it tomorrow. If he’s OK tomorrow, great, if not it’ll be two or three days and he should be back.”
