Five things we learned from Aston Villa v Sheffield Wednesday

Wednesday’s injury woes

A shock omission from the Owls’ team was star player Fernando Forestieri (Above).

The midfielder did not feature against Villa after being ruled out with a knee injury.

His absence was just one of a number of injured first-team players that Wednesday currently possess.

Defender Glenn Loovens also picked up an injury during the match, meaning that the Owls could be without nine first-team players for their match against Reading on Friday.

Sasso’s red card also means that Wednesday could be without a single first choice centre-back for their match on Friday, with Tom Lees, Sam Hutchinson and Loovens all currently doubts.
