Sheffield Wednesday have picked up one point from a possible nine so far this season.

Jos Luhukay manager

Sheffield Wednesday host Millwall tomorrow (Wednesday) seeking their first league win of the season.

And despite having their transfer embargo lifted at the end of last week, the Owls could yet find themselves with fewer players able to help them after injuries to Adam Reach and Daniel Pudil (who often misses midweek games anyway) at Brentford on Sunday.

Jos Luhukay, the Wednesday manager, is already without Kieran Lee, Gary Hooper, Sam Winnall, Almen Abdi and Lucas Joao for Millwall’s visit, although Morgan Fox could be passed fit.

And such a lengthy list of absentees could mean starts for Matt Penney and Steven Fletcher at Hillsborough, with Connor Kirby and Fraser Preston pushing to make their full debuts.

This is how HITC Sport suspects Sheffield Wednesday could look against the Lions:

Wednesday host Ipswich Town on Saturday (Championship) and Wolverhampton Wanderers a week today (EFL Cup) before travelling to Reading (Championship) ahead of September’s international break.

Which XI should Luhukay choose on Wednesday night?
