Sheffield Wednesday fans have called for Lucas Joao to be given a chance in their first-team tomorrow evening.

The Owls are set to take on Birmingham City at St. Andrews on Wednesday, as they look to bounce back from defeat in the Steel City derby.

Wednesday lost 4-2 against Sheffield United in their last outing, and very few of their players came out of the contest with any credit.

Joao, however, did earn some praise from supporters – and Wednesday fans are now keen to see the Portuguese forward keep his place.

Joao scored Wednesday’s second goal against the Blades, and looked to have given them a lifeline in the match. But goals from Mark Duffy and Leon Clarke ensured that Chris Wilder’s side secured the three points, much to the frustration of the Hillsborough crowd.

Joao has barely had a chance at Wednesday this season, with his only other appearance coming in the League Cup.
