Both players were forced off late in the game at Hillsborough, as the Owls recorded a 1-0 success over Shrewsbury Town to make it seven league games unbeaten for the Owls.

Windass has suffered a groin strain while Iorfa was forced off with a thigh problem – but Moore hopes both of those issues are linked to tiredness rather than serious injury problems.

“It is his groin, not his hamstring,” said Moore of Windass.

“We don't know if is just tiredness, fatigue, if it is a strain or whatever it is so we will let that settle down and we’ll get more information on that in the week.

“The way he’s moving on and off the ball, his close control, I fancied him to score when he cut inside and shot. You can see in his body language and everything that every game that goes by, he’s getting back to the Josh Windass we all know.”

He added: “With Dom, it’s more like an issue round his thigh so we think that might just be tiredness and fatigue.

“Hopefully it ends up that that’s what it is but that’s another we’ll keep an eye on in the week.”

A first-half goal from Mark McGuinness, the on-loan defender’s first for the Owls, was enough to give Wednesday the victory over a battling Shrews side who could have snatched an equaliser late on.

With leaders Plymouth being held by Burton, third-placed Wednesday are now just three points behind the League One pacesetters, but Moore knows his side had to work hard to emerge victorious on Saturday.

Next up for the Owls is an FA Cup second-round clash at home to Mansfield Town, who lost 3-0 to Harrogate Town in League Two on Saturday afternoon.
