Sheffield Wednesday injury news for Dave Challinor’s first game in charge against Oldham Athletic in FA Cup

Sheffield Wednesday manager Dave Challinor provided squad updates ahead of his first match in charge, an FA Cup first-round tie at Oldham Athletic on Sunday. Defender Di’Shon Bernard is available after missing three matches, while Jamal Lowe returns following a suspension. However, defender Sil Swinkels remains sidelined through suspension after Wednesday chose not to appeal his red card against Blackpool.

Several other players will miss the trip to Boundary Park. Liam Cooper and goalkeeper Joe Lumley are unlikely to feature as precautionary measures, with both targeted for returns next week. Ali Al-Hamadi is managing a minor tweak and could resume training next week, while Billy Mitchell and Reece James remain out of contention.
