Dominic Iorfa shares injury update ahead of Sheffield Wednesday derby clash vs Sheffield United
Sheffield Wednesday take on Sheffield United in the Championship this weekend. But in the Owls’ midweek win over Norwich City, there was a new injury concern for Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday gave more than an appropriate reaction to their 6-2 defeat against Watford over the weekend, with what was a commanding 2-0 win against Norwich City at Hillsborough on Tuesday night.
Thaw Owls scored twice in the first half through Josh Windass and then Dominic Iorfa and are now level on points with the Canaries on 18.
Sheffield Wednesday sit in 13th place of the Championship table ahead of their trip to Sheffield United on Sunday, whilst the Blades sit in 2nd place after winning 2-1 at Bristol City on Tuesday.
For what is Danny Rohl’s first Steel City derby, he has a few injuries in the first-team squad with Akin Famewo now injured for Sheffield Wednesday, long with Michael Ihiekwe, Nathaniel Chalobah, and Olaf Kobacki.
Dominic Iorfa shares positive injury update after Sheffield Wednesday beat Norwich City
Owls defender Iorfa was forced off on the hour mark against Norwich City with a facial injury.
It handed Rohl yet another defensive injury concern, but after the game Iorfa would confirm that he’s been given the all clear to play in the Steel City derby this weekend.
Iorfa told the press: “I said to the Doc and Antonio [Quintela, club physio], ‘Will this affect my chances for the weekend?’ And they were clear that it won’t.”
