Millwall vs Sheffield United - Fernando Forestieri and Jordan Thorniley back for Wednesday

Posted Friday, September 28, 2018 by PA

Sheffield Wednesday have Fernando Forestieri and Jordan Thorniley available for Friday’s Yorkshire derby against Sky Bet Championship leaders Leeds at Hillsborough.

Forward Forestieri completed his three-match suspension as he sat out the 2-1 win at Aston Villa last Saturday.

Defender Thorniley is in contention after missing the game at Villa Park due to a calf injury.

Midfielder Kieran Lee (knee) and defender Joost van Aken remain out injured.

Leeds look set to have the same starting XI on Friday as they have had for their last three matches.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men suffered their first league loss of the season last weekend when they were beaten 2-1 at home by Birmingham, but the Argentinian, who has admitted he got his tactics wrong in that contest, says he will not be making changes in personnel.

That will mean fit-again midfielder Adam Forshaw starting on the bench following his recovery from a foot problem.

Striker Kemar Roofe is not yet ready to make his return to action after injury, and the same applies to defender Gaetano Berardi and playmaker Pablo Hernandez. Forwards Patrick Bamford and Izzy Brown are also sidelined.
