- Watson eyes Owls comeback
Sheffield Wednesday veteran Steve Watson is hoping to make his comeback from injury against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The 34-year-old utility man has been sidelined with a hamstring tear since January, but could feature against Palace at the weekend if he comes through a reserve team game against Leeds United in midweek.
"I got a full 90 minutes under the belt at York and I'm aiming to do the same again against Leeds," he told the club's official website.
"We have to be cautious really because of the amount of time I've been out and the nature of the hamstring injury, which was a bad tear.
"But I feel fine right now and all being well I'll get another full game on Tuesday and I'll be available for selection on Saturday.
"The boys have done really well in the last three games, so I'm not expecting to walk straight back into the team."
