Barry Bannan could return to starting XI when Sheffield Wednesday host Luton
Posted Monday, August 19, 2019 by PA
Barry Bannan is hoping to return to Sheffield Wednesday’s starting line-up for the home game against Luton.
The Owls midfielder came through the second half unscathed in Saturday’s defeat at Millwall after missing the recent home win against Barnsley.
Caretaker boss Lee Bullen has no new injury worries, but has plenty of options with the likes of Massimo Luongo, Fernando Forestieri, Jordan Rhodes and Moses Odubajo pushing for starts.
Goalkeeper Keiren Westwood and defender Dominic Iorfa both returned from suspension at Millwall and are expected to continue.
Luton manager Graeme Jones is expected to choose from an unchanged squad after Saturday’s home defeat to West Brom.
Jones must decide whether to retain Harry Cornick and Callum McManaman in his starting XI after replacing them with Kazenga LuaLua and Izzy Brown early in the second half at the weekend.
LuaLua and Brown are both hoping to make their first league starts of the season, while midfielder George Moncur is in contention for a recall.
On-loan Manchester City winger Luke Bolton will be assessed after sustaining a calf injury in the recent Carabao Cup win against Ipswich.
