The former Chelsea midfielder has been ruled out, since the 3-0 win over Charlton Athletic in March, after suffering from a bout of glandular fever.

But the 26-year-old has been back in training three weeks, building up his fitness and recovery.

Now he will be included in Wednesday’s match-day 18 squad tomorrow for the visit of Cardiff City to Hillsborough.

“Sam is available and training very well,” said Owls head coach Carlos Carvalhal. “He will be involved with the 18, let’s see if we put him to play or not.

“He has been training three weeks, and day by day he is getting better. He is ready to play now.

“We feel strong, concentrated, and focused, with a full squad.”

A point tomorrow will be enough for Wednesday to secure a play-off spot. A win for Cardiff would see them sit one point behind the Owls, taking the play-off race to the final game of the season.
