Sheffield Wednesday are facing a short turnaround as they head to Portsmouth on Friday night just three days on from their 0-0 draw with Swansea City at Hillsborough.
It has been a mixed October for the Owls, with one win, two draws and one defeat so far and they will be looking to put some daylight between themselves and the bottom three when they visit Fratton Park. Pompey have won just one of their opening 11 Championship games, but five draws keeps them just four points behind the Owls.
The hosts have a huge number of injury concerns ahead of the game, while for the Owls they have just one player who will definitely miss out with manager Danny Rohl confident Anthony Musaba will be back for Wednesday after he was a surprise absentee against Swansea in midweek. Ahead of Friday’s contest on the south coast, we have rounded up the latest on the injury front from both camps.
