Overview

• Wednesday are in talks to bring in Joe Lumley on a seven-day emergency loan, with EFL ratification required because of existing registration restrictions.
• The move is being pushed in time for Wednesday night’s match against Middlesbrough, according to local reporting.
• Ethan Horvath was sent off late in a 2-1 loss at Charlton, forcing defender Liam Palmer to finish the game in goal.
• Reports differ on the length of Horvath’s suspension, which is described as two or three matches.
• If the loan is not cleared, 18-year-old Logan Stretch, who has yet to make a senior appearance, is the likely starter as financial turbulence, reported HMRC action and fan protests continue to weigh on the club.
