Wednesday wait on illness and injury checks before tomorrow lunchtime’s Championship clash at Preston.
Di’Shon Bernard is already ruled out as he serves the second game of his two-match ban while Danny Rohl hopes to have Liam Palmer available again after illness ruled him out of the last two outings.
Michael Ihiekwe and Ben Hamer have also both been hit by the illness in the camp and Anthony Musaba is the latest victim, falling sick before the Boro match on Boxing Day, which meant a hasty call-up to Teesside for Olaf Kobacki to deputise on the bench.
There is a further doubt over Djeidi Gassama who limped off towards the end of the thrilling comeback draw with Boro.
A run of one defeat in our last eight league games and only a single reverse on the road in eight Championship trips has propelled the Owls into ninth place, four points adrift of the final play-off spot.
Paul Heckingbottom’s Preston took a point in a 1-1 scoreline at Hillsborough earlier in the month and have only lost once in their last eight games, although five of those matches have been drawn.
