Sheffield Wednesday v West Brom early injury news as 4 out and 2 doubts

Table-topping West Brom travel to Hillsborough in the hope of preserving their perfect record on the road in the Championship this season.

The Baggies have won at QPR, Stoke City, and Portsmouth so far on their travels this season, and that has helped them reach the summit of the Championship. A 1-0 win against Plymouth Argyle at the Hawthorns last week has them top, and should they win the early kick-off then they will hold top spot for another weekend.

Wednesday are currently third from bottom, and go in to the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Luton Town. Here is the latest injury news ahead of kick-off in Yorkshire.

West Brom team news

Daryl Dike is on course to return in November, as he recovers from an Achilles injury. The American striker ruptured his Achilles tendon on his left leg in February, which is the same injury he suffered on the right side of his body. He's resumed training, though he's not with his teammates, and is instead doing some light work with the coaching and physio staff.

"Talking about Dike, last week was a week where we have moved a step," said Corebran to the Express & Star.

"Let's say he has three steps to complete; the first is with the medical staff, the second he is working with physical coaches and during that step he needs to make some individual, specific drills according to his position, and then some drills with the team.

“He has started this process, but it is still going to be more than one month, five or six weeks probably, to finalise this process and to be in the last step which is available to be involved with the team.

"It is a different leg, but the same injury and with the number of months he has been out we need to go step-by-step, managing the situation, analysing everything we do, not rush because there is no need.

“There is the motivation to involve him in games, but we need to build little-by-little, to follow the process to make him ready to compete."

Jayson Molumby is touch and go after suffering a calf injury. He managed to get through the game against Portsmouth, but missed out against Plymouth Argyle at the weekend, and is in a race against time to be fit for the fixture. Serbian midfielder Uros Racic featured in his absence, and set up Josh Maja for the only goal of the game at the Hawthorns last week.

Out: Daryl Dike. Doubt: Jayson Molumby.

Sheffield Wednesday injury news

Nathaniel Chalobah is unlikely to play against his former club having been limited to one Carabao Cup appearance since joining. The 29-year-old joined the Owls in the summer after being released by the Baggies, but so far the 62-minute display against Grimsby Town at the end of August, is his only outing in a Wednesday shirt.

His manager Danny Rohl believes he could either return just before the international break,or just after. Di'Shon Bernard is another absentee as he picked up a red card against Luton Town. Goalkeeper Ben Hamer is also missing with a finger injury.

Dominic Iorfa has missed the last six games with a muscle injury, but could make a return to the match day squad at the weekend. The 29-year-old is making progress as the Owls weigh up giving him one more extra week of preparation, or putting him back in to a game setting.

Out: Ben Hamer, Di’Son Bernard, and Nathaniel Chalobah. Doubt: Dominic Iorfa.
