Sheffield Wednesday looking strong for Villa test
Sheffield Wednesday are close to a clean bill of health for Sunday's Championship opener against Aston Villa.
Sam Hutchinson (quad) is expected to be available after being forced off during the pre-season friendly with Nacional in Portugal.
Jack Hunt (hamstring) and Marco Matias are also ready to return after sitting out the final pre-season friendly.
Portugal international Lucas Joao is recovering from a back problem but could feature.
Ross McCormack could make his Aston Villa debut after signing in a B#12million deal from Fulham.
The striker penned a four-year deal at the club on Thursday and is likely to be joined by fellow new boys Tommy Elphick, Aaron Tshibola and Pierluigi Gollini.
Gabby Agbonlahor is struggling after picking up a knock in the second half of pre-season training meaning he is unlikely to be ready having been suspended by the club last season for being unfit.
Jordan Amavi may be included in the squad after the left back missed the majority of last season, as Villa were relegated from the Premier League, with a serious knee injury.
