Wednesday have been given clearance from the EFL to sign a keeper in a seven-day emergency loan deal.

With current loan keeper Ethan Horvath receiving a one-match ban after being red-carded at Charlton on Saturday, we find ourselves needing a senior replacement for the home match with Middlesbrough on Wednesday evening and the League have approved our request.

Former Boro keeper Joe Lumley is reported to be the likely replacement, the 30-year-old Bristol City stopper has 152 Championship appearances to his name and played two Carabao Cup games for them earlier this season.

We also wait for an injury update on Dominic Iorfa who had to leave the field at Charlton on Saturday with what looked to be a back injury.

Henrik Pedersen said after the defeat at the Valley: “It’s difficult to say now, but it was like a dead leg on his hip. We hope it is not too serious”
