Sheffield Wednesday boast triple threat for Wigan clash
Posted Friday, January 18, 2019 by PA
The Sheffield Wednesday trio of Lucas Joao, Sam Hutchinson and Kieren Westwood are back in contention for the home game against Wigan.
Striker Joao has been out since Boxing Day and Hutchinson failed a late fitness test before the midweek FA Cup replay win at Luton.
Goalkeeper Westwood missed out on Tuesday night due to a toe injury, while midfielder Joey Pelupessy (ankle) remains doubtful.
Fernando Forestieri (hamstring) has returned to training after being out since early December, but is not ready for first-team action.
Wigan boss Paul Cook has several selection dilemmas as his side bid for back-to-back wins.
Anthony Pilkington made his debut last week before being replaced by Michael Jacobs early in the second half and Cook must decide whether to retain his new signing.
James Vaughan, Nathan Byrne and Callum McManaman are among those pushing for recalls to the starting line-up.
Darron Gibson will be assessed after missing the last two games due to a thigh problem and striker Nick Powell (calf) is not ready to return.
