Wednesday will be out to extend their good run of form this weekend when they travel to Blackburn.
The Owls are unbeaten in four with three clean sheets and head into the weekend three points off top spot.
Manager Garry Monk has this week expressed his delight with the squad since taking charge at Hillsborough.
Wednesday have collected an impressive point tally of 15, losing just one of Monk’s eight Championships games in the hot seat.
Rovers are on a six-game winless run in the Championship.
Tony Mowbray’s side have lost four of their last six outings, including last weekend’s 3-2 defeat away at rivals Preston after going 2-0 up in the first half.
Team news
SWFC: Julian Börner has trained this week after missing the Yorkshire derby with Leeds last weekend.
The defender picked up an ankle injury in the warm-up at Hillsborough but is likely to make a swift return to action when the Owls travel to Ewood Park.
Massimo Luongo (knee) will be assessed on Friday. During the pre-match press conference, Monk said: “Massimo had a slight niggle and we’ll assess him tomorrow. If not for Blackburn, then we are confident for Swansea the week after.”
Tom Lees has been in full training this week and all being well, will be given a run out for the Under-23s next week.
Blackburn: Lewis Holtby (hamstring) has missed the last two games but could return this weekend.
Darragh Lenihan (knee) remains sidelined.
