Owls wait on Mellor

03 December 2010 12:30
Sheffield Wednesday striker Neil Mellor is doubtful for the clash at Swindon. Mellor is struggling with an ankle problem that forced him out of the action during the midweek Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat at Carlisle and faces a late fitness test. Paul Heffernan will be vying with Jermaine Johnson for a place up front alongside Clinton Morrison if Mellor fails to make it. Owls boss Alan Irvine could also be without defenders Lewis Buxton and Jon Otsemobor again. Buxton has been sidelined for three games with a hamstring problem and Otsemobor has missed the last five matches due to a calf strain. Irvine has no other new injury or suspension problems as his side chase a fourth successive league win.
