Jeffers has not played for the Owls since January

Injury-plagued Sheffield Wednesday striker Francis Jeffers has suffered yet another setback.

The 27-year-old has picked up a groin strain as he attempts to recover from the ankle injury that has sidelined him since January.

"His ankle is fine, it is not a problem," Owls manager Brian Laws told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"We are desperate to get him fit again but he has felt a twinge in his groin and we will monitor it."
