Lewis Macleod has finally ended his injury hell at Brentford

Brentford hope to be able to call on Lewis Macleod and Andreas Bjelland as they take on Sheffield Wednesday in the Sky Bet Championship.

Midfielder Macleod suffered a knee injury against Rotherham last week but has been training with the first team since and was on Tuesday included in Scotland's Under-21 squad for September's games against Macedonia and Ukraine.

Bjelland has been a regular substitute this season and manager Dean Smith said ahead of the Owls clash that the Dane is "looking very bright".

Defender Yoann Barbet and goalkeeper Jack Bonham are working their way back to fitness but are not yet ready to feature.

Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal is expected to choose from an unchanged squad as his side chase their first win since the opening day.

Carvalhal has no new injury or suspension worries following last week's home defeat to Yorkshire rivals Leeds, while captain Glenn Loovens is still working his way back from ankle surgery.

Midfielder Jose Semedo (muscle strain) and Marco Matias (abductor) are Carvalhal's only other absentees.
