“They’re ready now, but when they’re back in training we’ll see what sort of condition they’re in. (Playing again) depends on what condition they’re in.

“I’ll look over the next few days, then we’ll make an assessment. I don’t want to put too much on them. They’ve been doing some incredible work with the sports science department, and now they’ll get back in the group.”

This can only be a good thing as the Owls look to secure an immediate return to the Championship, with the
