Owls in defensive poser

Last updated : 10 February 2006 By Andy Parsons

The Irish defender damaged his ankle before the win at Millwall last week and did not feature in the victory at the New Den.

But Sturrock is a man who likes to keep a winning side, and that could mean Lee Bullen being kept in - despite him playing in goal for more than half of the game last week.

At the moment, 27-year-old stopper Chris Adamson will take over in goal in place of David Lucas for his second-ever start in the blue and white unless Wednesday manage to sign a new goalkeeper.

Glenn Whelan will definitely miss the match though, he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season last week and is suspended.

Chris Brunt should be fit after suffering with the flu while Steve MacLean will be keeping his fingers crossed that he makes his long-awaited return to action.
