Goalkeeper Pierce Charles could be facing another injury lay-off after damaging a shoulder in Sheffield Wednesday's FA Cup third round defeat by Brentford.
The Northern Ireland international has been in fine form for the Owls since returning in December from a shoulder problem which required surgery and kept him out for three months.
Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen revealed that the 20-year-old hurt the other shoulder after defying the Premier League opposition with a series of saves, forcing him to be replaced by debutant Logan Stretch.
Pedersen told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It's the opposite shoulder and right now we don't know but he has a lot of pain, so maybe a scan tomorrow and maybe we'll know more.
"It's awful for him. He is such an important part of our way of playing, defensively and offensively, and how he has played since he came back is fantastic.
"It's so sad if it's another injury to keep him out for weeks or longer. I really hope the best for him, he deserves it."

It is really sad to see what has happened at Sheffield Wednesday and there is no way for them to salvage their season now.
Brentford are flying at the moment under Keith Andrews and they are another club who I'd love to see have a real go at the FA Cup this season.
The Bees have never got past the quarter-finals in their history, and have not even got that far since 1989. You only have to look at Palace last year to find a team winning it for the first time so it is definitely doable for them too.

Harry Amass has made five Premier League appearances for Manchester United
Sheffield Wednesday are set to lose the services of on-loan full-back Harry Amass, reports BBC Radio Sheffield.
The 18-year-old joined the Owls from Manchester United on transfer deadline day but is expected to return to Old Trafford with his loan period having expired following Sunday's 3-0 loss at QPR.
It is thought clubs higher up the Championship are interested in taking the England under-19 international for the remainder of the season.
Amass, who won consecutive club player of the month awards for November and December, has made 21 league appearances, scoring one goal.
"The boys gave everything today. We had a difficult beginning to the game where they were more dominant than us, and then we changed the formation after 20 minutes and then we got defensive control of the game and we were stronger on the ball," he said.
"From the beginning of the second half, the boys played much more brave. On the ball they made many more brave movements behind the opponent and, until the 81st minute when they scored to make it 2-0, I thought it was a very equal game.
"Especially the second half, we can be proud because this is what we want to see more of. We want to see brave, young boys who want to play forward, who want to play with risk going forward.
"Today we had three senior players in the starting XI, but how the young guys are doing is much more than what we can expect from them."
