Owls aim for top half return

Last updated : 04 April 2015 By C. Morris

Sheffield Wednesday host Huddersfield on Saturday afternoon knowing that a win will see them return to the top half of the Championship table.

The Owls could welcome back central defender Kamil Zayatte and striker Sergiu Bus with both having spent around a month on the sidelines due to injury. Wide player Jeremy Helan is struggling to shake off a knock and striker Will Keane is unlikely to be risked as he moves towards a return. Defenders Liam Palmer and Glenn Loovens and midfielder Jose Semedo are still injured and unavailable.

Chris Maguire, Caolan Lavery and Stevie May will be hoping to come into contention for starts having impressed from the bench against Rotherham two weeks ago.

Huddersfield welcome back striker James Vaughan from suspension but Harry Bunn's hamstring injury is expected to keep him on the sidelines.

On-loan Manchester United left-back Reece James will be hoping to make his first Terriers appearance.

Wednesday come into the game on the back of a dramatic late win at Rotherham but the Owls have only won one of their last seven home matches.

Huddersfield have not won in their last six games and have only won one of their last ten.

The two sides played out a keenly contested 0-0 draw in November with Wednesday feeling disappointed not to have come away with all 3 points after a numbeer of clear 2nd half chances were missed and a nailed on penalty was not awarded in the closing stages.
