Injured striker Akpo Sodje is confident of shrugging off a groin problem in time to play in Sheffield Wednesday's next match.
Sodje, 27, suffered the injury during a reserve team outing in midweek but believes he will be fit enough to return for the Championship trip to Stoke City on October 20.
The former Port Vale striker has yet to open his account for the Owls following his arrival at Hillsborough in August.
"I should be okay for the Stoke game. I pulled my groin in the Hull match but it's not a bad injury," he told the club's official website.
"With a few days rest and ice treatment, plus some work with the physio, I should be fine.
"I really need time on the pitch, which is what I got from our last two games.
"Every time I've played since I signed here I've seen an improvement in my game."
