Sheffield Wednesday club captain Steve Watson has confirmed he will be fit for their season opener against Burnley.

The 34-year-old was left out of the pre-season game against Wigan as a precautionary measure.

But he returned for Wednesday in a behind-closed-doors game against Bradford on Tuesday.

Watson told BBC Radio Sheffield: "Me and Jimmy Smith played an hour each and hopefully that proved to the gaffer that we are ready for Saturday."
