Challinor hopeful Lumley will return against Plymouth

Sheffield Wednesday manager Dave Challinor is hopeful goalkeeper Joe Lumley will be available for Saturday's home league match against Plymouth Argyle. Lumley has returned to training after missing five league matches due to a rib injury. His recovery comes as backup goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's FA Cup defeat against Oldham, leaving Connal Trueman as the substitute option.

Challinor also confirmed Liam Cooper, Louie Barry, and Billy Mitchell have rejoined training ahead of his first home league fixture at Hillsborough. However, Wednesday will be missing Jordi Liongola, Sean Fusire, Will Grainger, and Kieran Morrison due to international duty as they prepare to face fifth-placed Plymouth.
