Keiren Westwood will certainly head into the weekend in high spirits.
First, the Owls’ goalkeeper is available for selection against Millwall at the Den having served a one-match suspension for his red card at Reading on the opening day.
Then, another fillip has come the custodian’s way with news that Westwood has made the provisional squad for the Republic of Ireland’s next two fixtures on the international stage.
Mick McCarthy’s side host Switzerland in a Euro 2020 qualifier on 5 September before facing Bulgaria five days later on home soil for a friendly encounter.
