Johnson well rested ahead of Sheffield derby

Last updated : 16 October 2008 By C. Morris

Jermaine Johnson should return to Sheffield fit and raring to go for the Sheffield derby clash at Hillsborough on Sunday.

The Jamaican international was an unused substitute as the Reggae Boys beat Honduras 1-0 thanks to a goal from former Sheffield United striker Luton Shelton.

With one game to go Jamaica must beat Canada and home and hope that already qualified Mexico can overcome Honduras if they are to progress to the final phase of qualifying.

The news of an anticipated return of a fully fit Johnson will come as a boost to the Owls as they look to extend their unbeaten home record this season. The winger was instrumental in the Owls 2-0 derby victory at Hillsborough last season.
