Antonio, 21, is expected to make his debut against Sheffield United in Sunday’s Steel City derby at Hillsborough.

Manager Gary Megson wanted to sign Antonio three months ago but the player rejected the move because his partner was due to give birth.

Megson revived his interest after Jermaine Johnson suffered a knee injury against Chesterfield at the weekend.

He will officially start his loan on Friday.
