Sheffield Wednesday's new signing Tyler Onyango is set to miss the rest of the season after confirmation that he suffered an ACL injury on his debut on Saturday.

The 23-year-old, who joined the Owls on a free transfer from Everton this summer, lasted just 14 minutes against Orient at Brisbane Road.

"I think he's out for the season. It is so sad for him - for everyone, but most of all for him," manager Henrik Pedersen told BBC Radio Sheffield.

Onyango has been unfortunate with injuries, missing three months of each of the last two seasons on loan at Stockport County with hamstring issues.
