Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl provides updates on Dominic Iorfa and Nathaniel Chalobah
SHEFFIELD Wednesday head coach Danny Rohl has spoken of a ‘really good’ injury situation ahead of Saturday’s Championship trip to Luton Town, with defender Dom Iorfa having made a huge step’ in his road back to fitness.
Iorfa has miussed the past four games with a muscle injury.
On his Luton team news, Rohl said: “It looks really good. It’s just Nath (Chalobah) still and Dom has made a huge step this week, let’s see how close he (Iorfa) is to being ready for the game. But he’s going in the right direction.
"There’s a question mark (if he plays). But when I look at our schedule, next week is a good week where you can use it to train with him more. Then, you come to a midweek game and as it gets close to an international break, I have to look at how much risk there is.”
"All in all, it looks fantastic (with the group), even though we have had a lot of games and minutes. But we have managed well.
"Next week is a normal week and then a midweek game and then I think if you look at our schedule after the international break, then we have three midweek games in a row. It will be a tough challenge and for this, we need a full squad.”
On the situation with Chalobah, who has featured just once since his summer arrival, he added: “He is making good progress, but this injury takes a little bit more time. With Nath, when you look at his history, it’s a little bit up and down with some injuries.
"For me, it’s important with this injury that he’s really strong when he comes back and can keep going on a good level, instead of 60 minutes and out for three weeks.
"At the moment, I think it takes maybe at the end of – or before – the international break in November.”
