One Sheffield Wednesday player is expected to return for the match against Swansea City on Tuesday evening.
The Owls lost 2-0 to Burnley, who are near the top of the Championship. While Danny Rohl’s side did not put up a bad effort, they were undone by a significant defensive error made by Yan Valery, who alternated between the back three positions.
There were significant concerns going forward, as out-of-form Owls striker Ike Ugbo unable to convert a header to give his team the lead in the first half, while Olaf Kobacki and Djeidi Gassama struggled to make any meaningful impression either side of the Canadian international.
Fortunately for Rohl and his team, one essential member is
Set to return to action in the upcoming home encounter against Swansea City. Danny Rohl confirms Josh Windass’ availability for Sheffield Wednesday vs. Swansea City.
Sheffield Wednesday attacker Josh Windass has missed the last two Championship games, the first of which was an away win at Coventry City before to the international break.
However, Rohl has revealed that the Owls’ options would be improved with the return of the Englishman.
According to The Star, the German manager revealed he is in contention, saying, “It looks good.”
“He’ll train tomorrow and is available against Swansea. That is the information I have at the moment.
What is crucial is that we use the two training sessions; with the quick turnaround, there isn’t much training, but we have everything ready.
“Then we’ll put the best 11 on the field, and we know there’s always a bench that can maintain the quality while increasing the intensity. This is wonderful to know; it is what we need, and it will be a test this week with Tuesday and Friday games.”
Danny Rohl will be grateful for the boost in offensive options.
Sheffield Wednesday have just been below standard on the attacking front, with no single player up to this point in the 2024/25 Championship season proving to be a significant asset to Rohl’s team in terms of goalscoring output.
While the ‘great’ talent has not consistently performed at his best this season, he will undoubtedly help to stoke the flame in the Wednesday attack.
Windass is Sheffield Wednesday’s joint-top scorer, alongside club captain Barry Bannan, both of whom have two goals. While this demonstrates that the English attacker will contribute more to his team, it truly exposes the dearth of front-line scoring, particularly from Ugbo and Jamal Lowe, who have only one goal in the league combined.
