Sheffield Wednesday striker Sam Winnall has had to play in a face mask after breaking his nose in an under-23s gameFollow live text coverage from 12:00 GMT on Saturday
Sheffield Wednesday striker Sam Winnall could make his first start for the club since August 2017.
However, fellow striker Lucas Joao (knee) is expected to be out for the rest of the season.
Blackburn striker Danny Graham (hamstring) and full-back Amari'i Bell (knock) are doubtful.
Defender Charlie Mulgrew is likely to be ruled out by the hamstring injury that saw him miss the midweek win over Wigan.
