Injury verdict due on Chiedozie Ogbene and Rotherham United boss Paul Warne on the derby boos for old boy Lewis Wing

The flying winger limped out of yesterday's AESSEAL New York Stadium derby against Sheffield Wednesday with hamstring trouble.

He has been in top form since the start of the League One season and was terrorising the Owls down their left flank until his 25th-minute departure.

Rotherham substituted him as soon as he felt any pain and are praying his time in the treatment room will be short.

"He just felt a little bit tight in his hammy," said manager Paul Warne. "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, but he isn’t going to be right for a couple of weeks, I think. It’s a blow. He's a massive part of what we do and a massive outlet for us.

"Until he gets scanned on Monday, we won't know what the situation is."

The Millers dominated the first half against Wednesday and Ogbene's replacement, Kieran Sadlier, had a penalty saved on the stroke of half-time.

They continued to be the better side for some of the second half but mistakes led to goals for the visitors and they went down 2-0.

Former loanee Lewis Wing, who is is now with Wednesday, was the target of abuse from home fans after the midfielder had said in the build-up to the clash that he had "never really wanted to come back to Rotherham".

Warne tried to lure him back to New York but he chose to move to the Owls instead.

"I don't think the fans were booing him for his performances last year because he was excellent then," the boss said,

"I presume they were booing him for his comments before the game. I don't think they came across the way he intended them to. He's a great kid. I spoke to him during the summer and I know he'd set his heart on going there.

"He's entitled to. He doesn't have to come back here. He said he fell back in love with football when he came here. I think what he said has been a bit misconstrued really, which is sad."

The Millers face a second derby in a row next Saturday when they are at home to Doncaster Rovers.

"Fortunately we haven't got a midweek match so we can just recover and prepare for a big game again," Warne said. "Two derbies on the trot create a bit of a pressure keg. They're both very important games.

"We have to take the positives from the Owls game and try to build for next week. It's a big game, possibly not as big as the one we've just had."
