Sheffield Wednesday: Darren Moore explains Dennis Adeniran absence against AFC Wimbledon

The 22-year-old, who has quickly established himself as an important player at Hillsborough since signing this summer, was not included in the matchday squad for the 2-2 draw against the Dons on Saturday.

He had played 45 minutes in the win over Bolton Wanderers last weekend after coming off the bench at half time.

Speaking post-match, Moore said the former Everton youngster should be back in contention for the trip to Cambridge on Tuesday.

“Dennis just had a little bit of a muscle spasm, that was it really,” said Moore.

"He wasn’t available today so we had no doubt putting Fizz (Fisayo Dele-Bashiru) in for his first start of the campaign and I think he can feel happy with it.

"If I had one small critique with the performance it’s that he didn’t stick the chance away (at 2-0). At 3-0 then it’s game, set and match.

"He (Adeniran) will be fine for Tuesday [...] he should be back on Monday in training.”

Adeniran has made 12 appearances in all competitions this season and scored his first goal for the club in a South Yorkshire derby against Doncaster on the second weekend of the season.

The Owls would have moved back into the play-offs had they secured their first back-to-back league wins since August, but were left to rue missed chances and some poor defending when Wimbledon found a way back into the match.
