Rotherham are waiting nervously for the scan results on Chiedozie Ogbene's hamstring injury.

The winger suffered the problem midway through the first half of Saturday's 2-0 South Yorkshire defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.

It was a pivotal moment in the match as the Republic of Ireland international had caused the Owls untold problems down the right.

He was taken off largely as a precaution and will have tests on Monday to see how severe the problem is, with Millers boss Paul Warne holding his breath.

“He just felt a little bit tight in his hammy,” he said. “He wanted to play on but he has had hammy issues in the past.

“He wasn't sure and I said, 'Look, we're just going to have to get him off. We can't have him out for four months.'

“It was precautionary. He's a massive part of what we do and a massive outlet for us. Until he gets scanned on Monday, I don't know any more than that.”

The Millers have been robbed of their most dangerous player for much of the last year after he suffered a serious knee injury last October.

He has started this campaign on fire and had the Owls at sixes and sevens before being replaced by Kieran Sadlier, whose first-half penalty miss turned out to be decisive.

“Wednesday started with two left-backs to counter Chieo's threat,” Warne added. “We started really well and he was a big danger for us.

“For him to come off was a big blow. I thought Sads did well when he came on but Chieo on song is something else.”
