Aside from the devastating news that Louie Barry faces a spell on the sidelines after picking up ankle ligament damage, there doesn’t appear to be any other fresh injury concerns for the Owls.
Di’Shon Bernard and George Brown are still working his way back to fitness, while Max Lowe, Sil Swinkels and Jordi Liongola are all sidelined with hamstring problems that will keep them out of action for a number of weeks. Harry Gray will miss the Peterborough game due to concussion protocol, but should be back after that.
Here’s what Henrik Pedersen had to say today:
Louie Barry
"Louie Barry has been amazing, and it is a big, big blow,” said the Owls boss. “He has worked so hard, has been really strong, and it's sad for him and sad for the team."
Ricardo Santos
“We will make a decision tomorrow, he will be tested and then we will see,” is what Pedersen had to say. So he’s definitely not out for the long-term, even if he doesn’t make the Posh clash.
The Opponents
Owura Edwards went off midway through Peterborough’s last game against Stevenage and is a doubt, while both Carl Johnston and Tom O’Connor are ‘nursing knocks’ according to their manager, Luke Williams. It remains to be seen if either will be fit to feature against the Owls.
