Sheffield Wednesday: Gary Hooper recovery gathers pace
The centre-forward, out of action since Boxing Day because of a hip injury, played for more than an hour of the Owls Under-23s' 2-2 draw at Leeds United.
It followed on from last week's 45-minute appearance for the U-23 team last Monday in their 2-1 home triumph over Colchester United.
