The Sheffield Wednesday midfielder will make his unexpected return against Middlesbrough on Saturday.
Sheffield Wednesday fans are calling for the appointment of Sam Hutchinson as captain.
According to Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal, the midfielder will make only his second start of the season against Middlesbrough on Saturday, after recovering from knee surgery.
Hutchinson was surprisingly put forward for pre-match media duties on Thursday, and delivered a considered, passionate and – where possible – honest review of both his and the Owls’ problems this season.
Such qualities have been sorely missed in Hutchinson’s absence, and his comments were extremely well received by the Owls faithful.
And several of them have called on the club the hand him the armband which is currently worn by Dutch defender Glenn Loovens.
Here’s what they’re saying on Twitter…
Despite Hutchinson’s unexpected return to fitness, Sheffield Wednesday could still be without eight would-be regulars against Middlesbrough.
Keiren Westwood, Tom Lees, Kieran Lee, George Boyd and Fernando Forestieri will all miss out on Saturday Boro, while Jack Hunt, Barry Bannan and Steven Fletcher are doubts.
