Scunthorpe boss Nigel Adkins has a number of doubts for the visit of predecessor Brian Laws' Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.Midfielder Kevan Hurst's knee locked just 20 minutes into Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Leicester - forcing him to be replaced by Ian Morris - and is a major doubt.

Defender Andy Crosby was forced to miss last weekend's defeat also due to a knee injury and is still struggling.

Strikers Geoff Horsfield and Paul Hayes are the latest players to be affected by an illness that has hit the Iron squad and will need assessing closer to kick off.

Fellow frontman Martin Paterson and defender Jack Hobbs are back in contention after they overcame the bug.

On-loan Chelsea midfielder Jack Cork remains out for the relegation clash as he serves the second of a three-match ban after being sent-off against Ipswich for an off-the-ball incident.

Kick-off 12pm.
