Sheffield Wednesday duo available as farewells beckon for Atdhe Nuhiu and Kieran Lee

Osaze Urhoghide, who burst onto the scene earlier this year, remains sidelined with a knee injury as the Owls take on Middlesbrough this evening, but Monk has been given a boost with the news that both Liam Palmer and Kieran Lee are available.

The pair have missed the last few games as they dealt with niggling injuries issues, but it’s been confirmed that they may well return to the setup against Neil Warnock’s Boro outfit in tonight’s encounter.

Wednesday said on their official website today, “The Owls have no fresh injuries to report ahead of the final game. It is likely that Garry Monk will make changes from the 5-3 defeat at Craven Cottage on Saturday.

“Atdhe Nuhiu and Jacob Murphy came off the bench at half time and got the goals at the weekend and will be pushing to start against Boro.

“Liam Palmer and Kieran Lee are also available having recovered from minor injuries. Connor Wickham also came on at half time last weekend against the Cottagers and will be vying for a place in the starting XI.”

It could prove to be a final SWFC appearance for both Nuhiu and Lee as they see their Wednesday contracts expire, and fans will be saddened by the fact that – if they do leave – they will not have had a chance to give them a proper Owls send-off.
