Sheffield Wed. vs Bolton Wanderers preview - Owls pair pushing for places

Sheffield Wednesday pair Sam Hutchinson and Joe Mattock are pushing for places in the starting line-up for the home game against Bolton.

Chelsea midfielder Hutchinson had been sidelined with a knee injury since October and defender Mattock had been out due to an ankle injury sustained in November before both returned as unused substitutes in last week's win at Nottingham Forest.

Lewis Baker, another player on loan from Chelsea, is hoping to make his first start for the club after stepping off the bench at Forest and the versatile Jeremy Helan was also back in action as a substitute last week following a return home to France for personal reasons.

Boss Stuart Gray has no major new injury worries as Wednesday chase their fourth straight league win.

Boss Neil Lennon expects to have a similar squad available, with none of Bolton's long-term injury absentees set to return.

Attacking midfielder Zach Clough has been unable to build on his impressive debut against Wigan in the FA Cup after straining a hamstring muscle.

South Korea international Lee Chung-yong, who had been away with his country at the Asian Cup, will return to Wanderers on Friday to have a possible leg fracture assessed.

Marc Tierney (ankle), Joe Mason (hamstring), Rob Hall (ankle), Mark Davies and Max Clayton (both knee) are the other players unavailable to Lennon.
