Francis Jeffers, Akpo Sodje and Steve Watson are all doubtful for Sheffield Wednesday's FA Cup third round replay with Derby.Attacking duo Jeffers and Sodje are both struggling with ankle injuries and boss Brian Laws could decide to start Deon Burton upfront after forward pairing Marcus Tudgay and Leon Clarke failed to find the net in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Cardiff.

Veteran defender Watson is a doubt as he is still carrying a toe injury, while recent acquisition Ronnie Wallwork is ineligible following his participation in the competition with Huddersfield earlier in the season.

Fellow midfielder Wade Small is in contention following a hamstring problem but defender Frank Simek remains sidelined for a further two weeks due to an ankle injury.
