Owls duo set for return against Ipswich

Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Keiren Westwood and striker Gary Hooper are both expected to be available for Saturday's Sky Bet Championship home clash with Ipswich.

Westwood sat out the 4-1 loss at Bristol City last weekend - a result which halted the Owls' four-match winning streak - due to illness, while Hooper was absent because of a foot injury.

Two other players Wednesday could welcome back against the Tractor Boys are Glenn Loovens and Sam Hutchinson, with both to be assessed beforehand.

Defender Loovens has been sidelined by a thigh problem and midfielder Hutchinson has been recovering from glandular fever.

Ipswich will again be without Republic of Ireland international striker Daryl Murphy, who has been sidelined since the end of March with a calf injury.

Midfielder Luke Hyam serves a one-match suspension following his red card against Brentford last weekend.

Guinea forward Larsen Toure has a groin problem, so will be assessed, striker Luke Varney is another doubt, having missed part of Thursday's training because of a hamstring worry.

Teddy Bishop continues his rehabilitation from a hamstring tendon injury and the midfielder set for a run-out with the under-21s against Sheffield United next Monday, while Giles Coke is out for the rest of the campaign following knee surgery.
