As expected, Barry Bannan is suspended for the Owls Carabao Cup first round tie at Bolton on Wednesday evening.

The skipper serves a one-match ban after picking up two yellow cards at Leicester yesterday and that means he is cleared to face Stoke at home in the Championship on Saturday.

With Nathaniel Chalobah seemingly sidelined with his hamstring injury suffered in the defeat at the King Power Stadium and Yan Valery limping off in the second half of the game, Henrik Pedersen has further selection problems for the Bolton cup tie with more youngsters needing to be called into the squad.
