Sheffield Wednesday take on West Brom on Saturday afternoon as they look to return to winning ways. The Owls haven’t won in their last five league fixtures since their opening day victory over Plymouth Argyle.
Their upcoming opponents, on the other hand, haven’t lost and sit top of the table after six games. Here is a look at the early team news…
Sheffield Wednesday are without summer signing Nathaniel Chalobah. Speaking last week, Danny Röhl said: “He’s making progress. But this injury takes a little bit more time. When you look at Nath’s history, it’s a bit up and down with some injuries, so it’s important that we bring him back really strong so that he can keep going at a good level rather than playing 60 minutes then being out for another six weeks.
“I think it’s a big part, we’re working on it. He’s here every day, he’s working very hard in the gym, and that’s the right step. If the right moment is coming when he needs some minutes to come in then we’ll help him.
“We want him back as soon as possible, but I think it takes maybe until just before the international break – maybe. Obviously we hope it’s soon because we have the next few weeks where we can work hard, but you never know. It’s about making him stronger than before.”
