Sheffield Wednesday defender Di’Shon Bernard will miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury in Saturday’s defeat at West Brom.
The 24-year-old had to come off before half-time at The Hawthorns and will have surgery on Thursday.
Talking to BBC Radio Sheffield after the win at Swansea on Wednesday, boss Danny Rohl said: “It’s a big one, he’s out for around six months.
“It’s a setback for him and for us as a group because he helps us a lot.”
The Owls are eighth in the Championship, two points off the play-off places.
Sheffield Wednesday defender, Sam Reed, looks set to leave the club on loan – with big interest from Scarborough Athletic.
Scarborough have already had one success story from Wednesday this season given Mackenzie Maltby’s performance while out on loan, and The Star understands that they’re now keen to try and get in one of his teammates.
Reed, a boyhood Owl who made his professional debut last season, has been a regular for the U21s and captained the club at youth level, but it’s thought that the desire is for him to head out and gain some more regular playing time at senior level.
The 21-year-old left back has been attracting interest from a number of clubs around the National League and National League North, and the Seadogs are hoping that they can make a move to bring him on board to join Jonathan Greening’s outfit in North Yorkshire.
