Sheffield Wednesday's star man ruled out of Derby County clash and Paul Warne saw it happen
Sheffield Wednesday will be without star defender Di’Shon Bernard after he picked up a fifth yellow card of the season in their win at Hull City.
The Jamaica international will now be suspended for the trip to Pride Park on Sunday as the Rams look to bounce back from their defeat to Swansea.
Bernard has been praised for his performances of late and scored recently in a 1-1 draw at home to Cardiff City.

But he picked up a booking for stopping a counter attack on Tuesday night against Hull, a game in which Rams head coach Paul Warne attended. With Bernard set to miss the clash against the Rams, the chances are that his replacement will be Dominic Iorfa.
The centre-back had been a regular fixture for the Owls, but boss Danny Rohl had switched to Yan Valery, Bernard, and the resurgent Max Lowe. Wednesday are currently two points ahead of Derby in the table having picked up six wins from 17 games.
