Hide AdOwls boss Darren Moore has revealed that he cannot guarantee all of his loan players will remain at the club throughout the January window.
Wednesday have benefitted from loans from Burnley, Middlesbrough, QPR, Wolves and Swiss-side St Gallen this season, however, this situation may have changed come the end of the winter window.
Speaking to BBC Sheffield, Moore said that he was ‘very, very, hopeful’ that these players would be at Hillsborough in February, however, he made no guarantees of this happening.
Sunderland play host to Moore’s side on December 30 during a hectic festive fixture schedule.

Hide AdNotts County’s Kyle Wootton could be on Portsmouth’s January shopping list.
The News are reporting that boss Danny Cowley was spotted scouting the forward during the FA Cup replay between County and Rochdale last week.
Wootton, who joined County permanently from Scunthorpe last summer, has scored eight times in just 19 appearances in all competitions this season - a record which included four in his first four games of the season.
With only two sides in the top-half having scored fewer goals than Pompey this season, could Wootton be the answer to help fire Cowley’s side into the playoff picture?
