Cardiff City 1 Sheffield Wednesday 1

Owls boss Carlos Carvalhal was reasonably happy with a point and hopes the back problem that forced goalkeeper Keiren Westwood off during the first half is not too serious.

“Keiren had a bit of a back problem which he felt during the warm-up, but he felt well enough to play,” Carvalhal said.

“Then, during the early part of the game he felt it again and we felt it was best not to take a risk. I do not think it is too serious and we hope he can play this weekend.

“It made it difficult for us as we lost a substitution for the second half when we wanted to freshen things up, but I still feel we did well and were the better side.

“This is a marathon, not a sprint competition. In one week everything can change in the Championship.

“I think we are better this season at this point compared with last season. The quality of football is better than last season which is a positive.”
