Atdhe Nuhiu sits out through suspension as Sheffield Wednesday host Hull
Posted Friday, August 10, 2018 by PA
Sheffield Wednesday will be without suspended striker Atdhe Nuhiu for their home game against Hull.
Kosovo international Nuhiu received two yellow cards in the Owls’ opening-day defeat at Wigan last week and sits out a one-game ban.
Fellow striker Steven Fletcher could make his first start since December after recovering from a knee injury, but Lucas Joao is also in contention to replace Nuhiu.
Another striker, Gary Hooper, is back in full training following a long-term hip injury, but midfielders Kieran Lee (hip) and Almen Abdi (hamstring) are still unavailable.
Hull midfielder Jon Toral is expected to shake off a minor niggle in time to be back in contention.
Boss Nigel Adkins has no other new injury concerns following Monday night’s opening home defeat to Aston Villa.
Daniel Batty made his home league debut against Villa and is hoping to resume in midfield, but winger Kamil Grosicki is still working on his fitness.
Four summer signings – Eric Lichaj, Reece Burke, Jordy de Wijs and Todd Kane – all made their full debuts for the club on Monday, while two more, George Long and David Milinkovic, are pushing for their first starts.
