Duo set to miss out

Sheff WedJames O'Connor is set to make his Wednesday debut against Burnley but Francis Jeffers and Jimmy Smith will have to wait.

O'Connor was released by the Clarets in the summer before being snapped up by Owls boss Brian Laws and is set for a quick reunion with his former team-mates.

Jeffers, who missed much of last season through injury, is almost back to fitness but the game has come too soon for him and he will have to wait a while longer.

Loan star Smith who has arrived from Chelsea will also miss out as he also recovers from injury.

Meanwhile, Laws has a decision to make on his front two but is likely to go with Akpo Sodje and Deon Burton.
