Dominic Iorfa banned for Wednesday’s clash with QPR

Posted Friday, May 03, 2019 by PA

Sheffield Wednesday will be without suspended defender Dominic Iorfa for their home game against QPR.

Iorfa starts a three-game ban following his straight red card in last week’s draw at Preston, but fellow defender Achraf Lazaar could return after illness.

Boss Steve Bruce must decide whether to recall goalkeeper Keiren Westwood, fit again after a knee injury, or retain Cameron Dawson, while third-choice Joe Wildsmith is also in contention for the final game of the season.

Midfielder Sam Hutchinson (hamstring) and Rolando Aarons (ankle) will be assessed.

QPR caretaker boss John Eustace must decide whether to recall player of the year Luke Freeman and several other senior players.

Freeman was an unused substitute in last week’s home defeat to Nottingham Forest as Eustace uses the run-in to take a good look at his squad. Strikers Matt Smith and Nahki Wells are also pushing for recalls.

Central defender Joel Lynch remains doubtful due to a hamstring injury which has has kept him out of the last two matches.

Midfielder Jordan Cousins (ankle) is out, while defenders Jake Bidwell (thigh), Grant Hall (groin) and Angel Rangel (calf) will be assessed.
