Preview: Sheffield Wednesday vs. Charlton Athletic

Sheffield Wednesday vs. Charlton Athletic

Sheffield Wednesday could push out of the relegation zone with victory over mid-table Charlton Athletic in this weekend's Championship clash.

Dave Jones's side ended a run of straight defeats with a 1-0 win over fellow strugglers Barnsley last weekend, and will be looking to build on that result.

The Owls have no fresh injury or suspension concerns ahead of the game, but Jose Semedo (knee) and Jay Bothroyd (ankle) could miss out, while Reda Johnson is in contention for a return after playing an hour for the Under-21s in midweek.

Charlton are looking for a return to winning ways following last weekend's 2-0 defeat at the hands of Bolton Wanderers.

Ricardo Fuller is likely to miss out for them as he continues to recover from a hamstring strain, while Rhoys Wiggins remains out with a fractured metatarsal.

Long-term absentee Andy Hughes is still sidelined with an Achilles injury.
