Madine back in Owls XI

21 February 2011 16:30
Sheffield Wednesday striker Gary Madine is expected to return to the starting line-up at Bournemouth. Madine was ineligible for Saturday's FA Cup defeat at Birmingham and, therefore, replaced by Neil Mellor. Owls manager Gary Megson is also likely to make changes after overseeing his third straight defeat in charge of the club over the weekend. Megson blamed his latest loss on defensive errors and, thus, is expected to make a few changes, although Jon Otsemobor (calf) and Lewis Buxton (hamstring) both remain sidelined and midfielder Giles Coke sits out the second of a three-game ban. Richard Hinds is pushing for a recall to the back four and could return at either centre-half or right-back, while teenage midfielder Liam Palmer may make his first senior start for the club after an impressive second-half performance at Birmingham.
