Luhukay remains short of players for visit of Preston
Posted Thursday, December 20, 2018 by PA
Under-pressure Sheffield Wednesday boss Jos Luhukay remains short of players for the visit of Preston on Saturday.
Barry Bannan will serve the second game of his two-match ban while Fernando Forestieri will again miss out with a hamstring injury.
Midfielder Kieran Lee (knee) and strikers Gary Hooper (groin) and Sam Winnall (hamstring) remain long-term absentees.
Wednesday have won just one of their last 10 games to slip to 18th in the table, and owner Dejphon Chansiri has announed the club is up for sale.
Preston have also seen their resources stretched as the busy festive period approaches.
Josh Earl is doubtful after missing the 3-2 win over Milwall with a thigh injury, while Louis Moult also sat out that match with a knock.
They joined Brandon Barker, Callum Robinson and Sean Maguire (all hamstring) in the treatment room, while Billy Bodin and Josh Harrop (both knee) remain long-term absentees.
The shortages have led to manager Alex Neil naming academy players Ethan Walker and Jack Baxter on the bench in recent weeks.
