Speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield following the defeat to Brentford, Pedersen stated: “It’s the opposite shoulder and right now we don’t know but he has a lot of pain, so maybe a scan tomorrow [Sunday] and maybe we’ll know more.

“It’s awful for him. He is such an important part of our way of playing, defensively and offensively, and how he has played since he came back is fantastic.

“It’s so sad if it’s another injury to keep him out for weeks or longer. I really hope the best for him, he deserves it.”

Pierce Charles has previously been injured with a shoulder problem earlier in the season that had kept him out of action for three months and which needed surgery.

Now, with this new injury occuring, Owls fans may look towards the Wednesday manager to see if he provides further updates on his condition and the result of the upcoming scan.
