Buxton to miss out
Sheffield Wednesday defender Lewis Buxton has been ruled out of the midweek game at Tranmere due to a hamstring strain.
Buxton has been struggling with the problem in recent weeks and aggravated it during Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Rochdale, so Richard Hinds, Reda Johnson and Tommy Spurr are all hoping to be in contention for a return to the side. Another defender, Jon Otsemobor, remains sidelined with a calf injury.
Midfielder Isaiah Osbourne, on loan from Aston Villa, is pushing for his first start after stepping off the substitutes' bench on Saturday, as is striker Gary Madine, who scored his third goal in four appearances for the Owls in the closing stages.
Manager Gary Megson is chasing his first win in charge, while the Owls are bidding for their first win in nine league matches.
