The Owls have had a hefty injury list for some time now, with some of their players still facing a number of weeks on the sidelines. Tyler Onyango, meanwhile, was ruled out for the rest of the season.
Saturday’s clash is a big one for both sides as third faces fourth, and if results go their way then either team could finish the weekend sitting pretty at the top of the League One table.
Speaking today, Henrik Pedersen gave some updates on where various players were at - and who could miss out this weekend.
Max Lowe and Sil Swinkels
"Max has completed all the tests, and he will be in full training from Monday.
"We hope he can have a good week and be in the squad Saturday or the following Tuesday. His fitness is good, and he is looking forward to training and playing again.
“Sil is going really well, we also hope he can be part of more training from next week."
Ricardo Santos
"There have been some small injury concerns but we will handle this… Ricardo had a little problem with his groin, and we are waiting for the final results to get a complete answer."
Di’Shon Bernard
"Dish has trained really, really well... He needed some recovery days after the last game but he is available for the squad tomorrow."
The Opponents
The home side have a whole host of injury issues, with the likes of Jack Whatmough, Herbie Kane, Marcus McGuane, Ryan Ledson and David Kasumu all set to miss out.
Joe Taylor, meanwhile, could return to the starting XI after he missed the 3-1 win over Burton Albion because of his efforts at international level with Wales. Terriers manager, Martin Drury, is yet to speak to the media ahead of the tie, so it’s unknown if there are any fresh concerns for them.
