Matt Olosunde could feature for Rotherham
Posted Tuesday, August 27, 2019 by PA
Rotherham hope defender Matt Olosunde will be available for their Carabao Cup clash with Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday.
Olosunde suffered an Achilles issue during a 1-0 victory over Burton 10 days ago, but he could return to action in Wednesday’s encounter against the Owls at New York Stadium.
Rotherham boss Paul Warne has been closely monitoring Olosunde’s progress, while his options elsewhere are restricted as squad right-back Billy Jones has a heel injury.
And Trevor Clarke is currently sidelined by a knee problem, leaving Warne’s resources stretched in that defensive area.
Wednesday’s interim manager Lee Bullen is set to make changes, with Fernando Forestieri, Adam Reach and Atdhe Nuhiu among those who could start.
All three impressed as substitutes during a 2-1 defeat at Preston last Saturday in what was an improved second-half display.
Defender Liam Palmer, though, is battling to make the game after missing Wednesday’s last two league games because of a back problem.
Bullen has been assessing Palmer on a daily basis, and he could make a late decision on his fitness.
