Nottingham Forest loanee Alex Mighten has been told by Sheffield Wednesday manager Darren Moore that it will "take time" to build up his body for playing 90 minutes after making a rare start against Leicester City's under-21s.
The 20-year-old has endured a difficult loan spell with the League One side since arriving in late August. Just seven appearances have followed for the winger, but just four of those have come during the club's league campaign, with them currently sitting in a play-off position.
Mighten's minutes have mainly come in the midweek Papa John's Trophy matches, starting all three of their outings, including the final group game against the academy side of Forest's East Midlands rivals. That competition is now over for Wednesday, though, after finishing third behind Burton Albion and Bradford City, who advance to the knockout stages, begging the question of what is next for the Reds' academy graduate.
