Sheffield Wednesday star waits on specialist after injury concern.
Sheffield Wednesday captain, Barry Bannan, is waiting to find out the extent of a knock that he picked up recently.
The Owls skipper has been practically ever-present for the club so far this season, missing just one game – against Preston North End – as he played a huge part in what has been a very impressive campaign so far.
Bannan completed the full 90 minutes in Wednesday’s last outing against Luton Town after getting two assists in the two previous games, but The Star was made aware this week of an injury that may lead to him being sidelined – however there has not yet been a prognosis on where he’s at.
What it means for the game against West Bromwich Albion this weekend remains to be seen, with Danny Röhl not making any mentioned of the Owls’ number 10 in his pre-match press conference, although he did say that there were ‘maybe some question marks’ in terms of availability.
Fans and Röhl alike will be hoping that it’s good news on the Wednesday talisman given how important he is to the setup at Hillsborough, and many will be eagerly awaiting the teamsheet for Saturday’s game to see whether his name makes it on there or not.
Dominic Iorfa and Akin Famewo remain sidelined while Anthony Musaba and Ibrahim Cissoko are touch and go for the clash at the Hawthorns. For Nathaniel Chalobah it could prove to be his return to action after a short spell on the sidelines.
