Sheff Wed v Boro preview

// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian Laws expects Marcus Tudgay and Richard Wood to shake off injuries in time for the home clash with Middlesbrough. Both players were withdrawn in the second half against Nottingham Forest, striker Tudgay due to a tweaked back muscle and defender Wood as a precaution because of a slight groin strain.Laws will be without Francis Jeffers, who sits out the last of a three-game ban, but fellow forwards Akpo Sodje and Leon Clarke will come into the reckoning.Sodje, who has recovered from a groin injury, replaced Tudgay on Saturday and Clarke was on the bench after finally overcoming a hamstring problem.Defender James O'Connor missed out against Forest due to a hamstring strain and remains doubtful, while Laws must decide whether to recall Sean McAllister to his midfield or retain summer signing Tommy Miller in his starting line-up.Boro team newsMiddlesbrough's Andrew Taylor is out of the trip to South Yorkshire as he waits to discover the extent of his ankle ligament injury.Manager Gareth Southgate is resigned to losing the 23-year-old full-back for several weeks after he limped off during Saturday's 3-1 win over Ipswich.Central defender Chris Riggott is likely to be out for another eight weeks after undergoing a second operation on a knee problem.However, Tony McMahon is expected to shake off a foot injury picked up at the weekend, while Emanuel Pogatetz (knee) is due to play for the reserves on Wednesday evening and Didier Digard (groin) is also close to a return.
