Sheffield Wednesday defender Sil Swinkels is facing three to four weeks out of the game, after suffering a hamstring injury.

The 22 year old was injured during the midweek defeat against Wolves in the League Cup.

The former Aston Villa man was one of Wednesday's summer signings.

Manager Henrik Pedersen said: “Sil will be out for three to four weeks. He has been very strong throughout pre-season and in the friendlies, he has tactically improved a lot in his short time with us but we will be without him for a few weeks now.”
