Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Michael Gray is a major doubt for Saturday's clash at Bristol City due to a hamstring strain.

The former Sunderland and Blackburn defender, now enjoying an Indian summer for the Owls on the wing, could be ruled out for 10 days after sustaining the injury in last Friday's defeat at Watford.

Scans have eased Wednesday's worst fears the 35-year-old had suffered a tear and he is expected to be back in contention for the home match with QPR on Saturday week.

Leon Clarke, who missed the 4-1 defeat at Vicarage Road with a knee injury, is hoping to be in the reckoning for the game at Ashton Gate while Akpo Sodje is nursing an ankle problem.
