da winzada777: Sheffield Wednesday striker Lee Gregory is an injury doubt for the midweek League One clash against Plymouth Argyle, according to reliable journalist Dom Howson.
The Lowdown: Wednesday pick up weekend win
da cassino online: The Owls made the trip to Port Vale on Saturday afternoon looking to continue their good start to the season and they battled their way to a 1-0 win. Will Vaulks’ stunning long-range strike proved to be the difference between the two teams, in what could be looked back upon as a gritty three points come the end of the season.
One player who wasn’t available was Gregory, with Wednesday having to make do without one of their regular attackers.
The Latest: Gregory injured
Taking to Twitter after Saturday’s match, Howson reported that the 34-year-old picked up an injury in training on Friday, although he didn’t say for definite whether Gregory would be available for Tuesday’s trip to Plymouth.
The Yorkshire Live reporter tweeted:
“George Byers and Lee Gregory will be assessed on Monday ahead of the trip to Plymouth. Gregory picked up a minor knock in training yesterday.”
The Verdict: Potential big loss
The clash with Argyle in midweek looks like a huge game on paper, with the current League One leaders hosting the third-placed Owls and just two points separating the teams.
Gregory’s ruthlessness in the final third would be a big loss if he isn’t available – he has scored 18 goals in 50 appearances for Wednesday – with the match potentially being decided by fine margins given the form of the two teams.
That it is only deemed a “minor” injury might suggest that he could be available, but whether or not Darren Moore brings him straight back into the line-up remains to be seen, with Mallik Wilks, Josh Windass and Michael Smith possibly preferred in attack.
