Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah continued his comeback from injury by featuring for the Under-21s in their 3-2 win against Burnley on Monday.

The 29-year-old was substituted at half-time as he eases his way back from recovery for his first match since 27 August.

The Chelsea academy graduate has struggled for fitness since joining Wednesday on a free transfer in July and has only made one appearance for the senior side - as part of the starting line-up for their 5-1 EFL Cup win against Grimsby Town, where he sustained a calf injury an hour into the match.

Devlan Moses scored twice for the Owls either side of Rio Shipston's deflected strike, with the young midfielder having replaced Chalobah at the break.

Tommy McDermott and Joe Westley were on target for the Clarets at Middlewood Training Ground.
