The pair of defenders have both been missing since the 2-0 home defeat to Cardiff just over a week ago, Lockyer coming off after half an hour of the contest when hurting his ankle in a block tackle and Pearson withdrawn during the interval following a tight hamstring.

They missed the 3-0 defeat at Stoke City on Saturday and 1-1 draw with Millwall in the week, but on whether they could return to take on the Owls, Jones said: “We might have a surprise with one.

"One isn’t (fit), we might have a surprise with the other, but we’ll wait and see.

“We've trained well today, it was a really positive performance (against Millwall) so they should be in good spirits.

"It was unfortunate what happened in the last minute, the phantom minute, but that’s another thing, squad-wise, no problem."
