Reece James could make Sheffield Wednesday return in Morecambe match

Sheffield Wednesday defender Reece James could return to action in Friday evening’s FA Cup first-round clash with Morecambe.

The on-loan Blackpool player has missed the Owls’ last five Sky Bet League One games after sustaining an injury in the defeat at Plymouth a month ago.

Akin Famewo has returned to training but is not yet ready for first-team action.

Defender Ben Heneghan and midfielder Dennis Adeniran remain sidelined.

Morecambe manager Derek Adams has injury concerns over a couple of unnamed players for the trip to Hillsborough.

Adams also continues to be without the injured trio of Jake Taylor, Ash Hunter and Max Melbourne.

Forward Courtney Duffus remains a long-term absentee.

Shrimps striker Cole Stockton is pushing for a recall after coming off the bench in the midweek draw with Derby.
