da realbet： Sheffield Wednesday have been terrible recently.
da 888： There’s no nice way of putting it – the Owls have been atrocious – they’ve won just one of their previous 11 league games, and any thoughts of a playoff push must now seem like a distant memory.
However, the Yorkshire club may have just been handed a boost that could see them rediscover the form that saw them sitting third in the Championship after 23 games.
What’s the latest?
Steven Fletcher is on his way back.
Garry Monk spoke about the striker’s return to fitness in his pre-match press conference.

“It is one real positive. He is back in training this week, so it is good. He looks good,” Monk said.
“We will make a decision on him. But he has come through his fitness (work) really well and done his rehabilitation brilliantly and has been back in training this week.
“It is only his first week, but he is a fit lad anyway. We will make a decision on him.
“I think he has to be (in consideration). I have not spoken to him yet and have let him get on with it, so I will speak to him later today or tomorrow morning in terms of how he feels.”
Huge boost
It’s no coincidence that Wednesday’s decline coincided with Fletcher’s spell on the sidelines.
The Scot is the Owls’ top scorer this season, netting 12 times, but that’s not all he contributes.
The Yorkshire club’s overall play is better with Fletcher on the pitch, they pick up 1.63 points per game when the former Sunderland man plays, compared to just 0.72 without him.
Monk has really missed the presence of his first-choice number nine, and once he’s back he could help the Hillsborough outfit have a strong end to the season.
If Fletcher returns with a bang on Saturday that could lift everyone at the club, and hopefully this piece of injury news will act as a catalyst for a rejuvenation from the Yorkshire outfit.
