Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal has hinted at further changes for his side's home FA Cup tie against Fulham.
Carvalhal has revealed the Christmas fixture schedule has taken its toll and he will monitor several unnamed players.
Forwards Marco Matias (hernia surgery) and Sergiu Bus could return to contention following injury, but Tom Lees (hamstring) and Michael Turner (knee) remain sidelined.
