Injury problems easing for Rotherham boss Neil Redfearn

Rotherham boss Neil Redfearn sees his injury problems easing ahead of the South Yorkshire derby with Sheffield Wednesday.

Joe Mattock (shoulder), Danny Ward (back) and Joe Newell (foot) have all returned to training having missed the last two games and will return to the fray.

Redfearn, who has taken one point from his first two games in charge of the Millers, is further boosted by the return of midfielder Richie Smallwood from suspension.

That just leaves skipper Lee Frecklington (calf) in the treatment room, but Redfearn says he is expected to return to training on Monday.

Wednesday will be without winger Modou Sogou after he was stretchered off during Tuesday night's goalless draw at QPR after dislocating his shoulder.

Modou was one of seven changes made by head coach Carlos Carvalhal following last week's home draw against Hull and the Portuguese is expected to rotate his squad again.

Centre-half Michael Turner (knee) missed out in midweek and remains sidelined, while defenders Liam Palmer, Glenn Loovens and Rhoys Wiggins, midfielders Jose Semedo and Lewis McGugan, plus striker Atdhe Nuhiu will all be hoping to retain their places.

The Owls, ninth in the table, are bidding to extend their unbeaten league run to seven matches.
