It was a tough time out for Wednesday earlier in the week when they were downed by title-chasing West Bromwich Albion at Hillsborough, but they do have a good away record in 2019/20 so far, so will be hoping for a better result against the Swans.

Both Julian Börner and Tom Lees were forced to sit out the defeat in S6 due to injury, with Moses Odubajo coming into the line-up, but there looks to be some good news as Monk considers his options ahead of a return to his old stomping ground.

The club’s match preview today stated, “The positive news coming from the Owls’ camp ahead of Sunday’s match is the potential return of defender Julian Börner. A dead leg from the 2-1 win over Bristol City ruled Börner out of the West Brom fixture on Wednesday.

“Tom Lees (hamstring) could also figure in South Wales. The captain was sidelined against the Baggies but could return to action on Sunday.

Osaze Urhoghide (knee) will be out a little longer as the young defender continues with his recovery. Loanee Josh Windass (thigh) is expected to return to training next week.”

The Owls face Swansea at 12pm tomorrow as they seek a return to winning ways, and are looking for their first away win over the club since way back in 1983.
