Owls captain Rob Jones returned after recovering from surgery on a broken nose. Goalkeeper Nicky Weaver returned to training this week - three months after kneem surgery - but will not be rushed back into competitive action.

Lewis Buxton missed out, Liam Palmer replacing the right-back, while Reda Johnson was at left-back. Stephen Bywater and Ben Marshall returned after being cup-tied last weekend.
