Barnsley vs Sheffield Wednesday: Team news
The Tykes have no injury concerns ahead of this one, with Michael Duff able to pick from a fully fit squad.
The only decision he will have to make, barring any setbacks in training this week, is if James Norwood starts up top.
Meanwhile, the Owls are hoping for positive news on Dominic Iofra and Marvin Johnson after the pair were withdrawn against Peterborough.
Both players managed over 90 minutes before succumbing to their respective problems, meaning Aden Flint and Jaden Brown are standing by.
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru could also return from a knee issue that kept him out of the game at Hillsborough.
