Owls boosted by key man ahead of Fratton Park visit
Josh Windass is expected to make a comeback for Sheffield Wednesday ahead of a pivotal week for the team in the bottom half of the Championship table, according to manager Danny Rohl, giving the team some encouraging news on the injury front.
The Owls will host Swansea City on Tuesday and then travel to Portsmouth on Friday night, following their 2-0 loss to Burnley on Saturday. Wednesday’s manager, Rohl, acknowledged that Windass’ return from a knock is especially well-timed as he aims to assist his team widen the three-point buffer between them and the relegation zone ahead of two challenging games.
“He (Windass) will train tomorrow and he is available against Swansea,” he said to The Sheffield Star. That’s all the information I currently know. The most crucial thing is that we make the most of the two training sessions—given the short notice, not much training—and that we get them all ready. We know there is always a bench that can hold the quality and we can up the intensity, so we will then put the best 11 on the pitch. Knowing this is helpful to me because it is what we require and this week’s challenge with the Tuesday and Friday games
