The Verdict

Although Wednesday will be confident in their ability to secure a positive result in Byers' absence this weekend, manager Darren Moore will be hoping that the midfielder is able to make considerable progress from his issue in the coming weeks.

After registering an assist on his debut, the midfielder has only made three more appearances in League One for the Owls due to his injury woes.

When he is fit enough to feature, Byers will need to overtake the likes of Dennis Adeniran and Lewis Wing in the pecking order at Hillsborough in order to become a mainstay in Wednesday's starting eleven.

Providing that the midfielder is able to deliver the goods on a consistent basis, he could potentially play a key role for the Owls as they look to launch a push for promotion next year.
