Sheffield Wednesday manager Brian Laws is confident goalkeeper Mark Crossley will make a speedy recovering from a hamstring injury.

The veteran keeper has been in inspirational form since arriving at Hillsborough on loan last month from Fulham.

Crossley limped out of Saturday's 3-0 defeat by league leaders Birmingham City with a hamstring problem, but Laws had played down fears of a long-term absence.

"We looked at Mark after the game and I would be very disappointed if he wasn't fit for next week," said the Owls boss.

"That shows that it is a precaution more than anything else."
