Darren Moore addresses Lee Gregory’s situation at Sheffield Wednesday after Rotherham clash

Sheffield Wednesday manager Darren Moore has revealed that Lee Gregory could potentially be in contention to make his return to action when the club take on Doncaster Rovers on Saturday.

The forward has been forced to watch on from the sidelines in recent weeks after picking up an injury earlier this year.

Although the Owls were able to secure victories over Ipswich Town, Morecambe, Burton Albion and Wigan Athletic in Gregory’s absence, they missed the forward’s presence in yesterday’s showdown with Rotherham United as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the League One leaders.

Despite making a bright start to this fixture, Wednesday were unable to create any clear-cut chances in the first-half as their only notable effort was ruled out for offside.

Following the break, Rotherham opened the scoring as Freddie Ladapo bundled the ball into the back of the net.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing failed to convert a good opportunity to level proceedings as his effort was saved by Josh Vickers.

Rotherham then sealed all three points at Hillsborough as Michael Smith converted from Michael Ihiekwe’s free-kick.

After this fixture, Moore shared an update on Gregory’s current situation at the club.

“We will see.

“When any of the injured players come back, we will welcome them because they are big players for us.”
