The Owls face a slightly daunting task on the South Coast this evening against Brighton and Hove Albion. Wednesday travel south needing to reverse a trend of poor results including a harsh (referee aided) loss against near neighbours Rotherham United last time out.
Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal says he has no new injury concerns after the weekend and welcomes back Sam Hutchinson. Carlos also hasn’t a concern over his players mentality heading into Tuesday`s trip to Brighton. The game see Forestieiri miss his final game through suspension after a daft double booking sending off against Hull City.
Speaking to swfc.co.uk, Carlos said:
“Just Fernando is out, Sam is OK. At this moment we don`t have any new problems. We trust in all the players in the squad and all the time I say the same. Sometimes we understand that one player is better than another to a specific game.
“For example, Jack Hunt has played more games but Liam Palmer has played in some hard games and done very well.
“Jack has played in some very hard games and done well also, so this means we have good options.
“But even though we don`t have any big problems, sometimes a player is more tired, or has had a little kick and is not 100%.
“We will make decisions player by player or position by position to choose the best players to fight for the three points with Brighton.”
Despite the loss to Rotherham, the Owls held on to the last play-off spot (sixth) in the division and Carlos says his players are focused and ready to go again, he continued:
“I don`t have any problems whether the players will be ready or not ready, nervous or not nervous. They will not be nervous about the situation, they will be focused and ready for the next game.”
