Good and bad news on the injury front

Wednesday fans received both good and bad news on the injury front when Jos Luhukay gave his press conference on Tuesday.

Gary Hooper could continue his road to recovery by being pencilled in for his first scheduled 90-minute runout when the under-23s take on Sheff U at Hillsborough on Friday evening.

The striker has been sidelined with a hip problem since December and has gradually progressed towards full fitness after playing for 45 minutes and then just over an hour in two previous games for the Owls youngsters.

Lee, who has been troubled with a hip injury for a lengthy period, suffered a knee problem when playing for the under-23s recently and lasted just 15 minutes.

Luhukay says it will be several weeks before Lee is expected to return to training.
