Owls set for triple boost

03 March 2010 08:05
Sheffield Wednesday's survival fight could be booted by the return of skipper Darren Purse, Jermaine Johnson and Francis Jeffers this weekend. Purse has missed the last two games and winger Johnson has been sidelined since mid-January while Jeffers, who has featured only eight times for the first-team this season, last appeared in the FA Cup defeat to Crystal Palace on January 2. All three players have been sidelined with hamstring problems with Purse and Johnson, in good form when they sustained their respective injuries, returning to full training last Thursday. Wednesday, who have lost their last three games, are hoping to bounce back to winning ways at Hillsborough against play-off chasing Leicester on Saturday.
