Sheffield Wednesday welcome back Tom Lees
Posted Friday, February 22, 2019 by PA
Sheffield Wednesday defender Tom Lees is back in contention for the home game against Swansea.
Lees could return to the starting line-up after missing the last three matches due to a shin injury.
Striker Fernando Forestieri sits out a one-game ban following his two yellow cards in last week’s draw at Rotherham and forward George Boyd is a big doubt due to illness.
Defender Jordan Thorniley is unlikely to feature after sustaining a head injury against Rotherham, while Sam Winnall, Gary Hooper and Kieran Lee remain long-term absentees.
Swansea have been handed a triple boost with Wayne Routledge, Nathan Dyer and Declan John all expected to return to the squad.
Routledge (calf) has been restricted to one appearance in the last six matches and Dyer has missed the last three due to a hamstring problem.
John, who also returned to full training this week, has been sidelined due to an ankle injury.
Captain Leroy Fer (hamstring), who has been out for four games, hopes to be fit for next week’s home match against Bolton. Joe Rodon (metatarsal) is still out.
