And after eight goalless matches for Steven Fletcher, the Scot’s place could be up for grabs when Millwall visit Hillsborough on Tuesday.
Many Owls fans have already called for Lucas Joao to start instead, but after Carlos Carvalhal’s comments on Jordan Rhodes this week, it could be the club-record signing who gets the nod this evening.
Things have not been great at the other end too, with Wednesday conceding in all but one of their last 11 outings in all competitions, so captain Glenn Loovens could get a chance to redeem his red card at Derby 10 days ago, at the expense of Joost van Aken.
Meanwhile, Morgan Fox and Adam Reach will likely be on stand-by should Daniel Pudil’s hamstring problem result in an enforced change at left full-back.
