Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl provided a reassuring update on Gabriel Otegbayo following the defender’s early exit during their 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough. Otegbayo was substituted due to cramp, but Rohl confirmed that it wasn’t a serious injury, praising the young talent for his growth throughout the season. “Gab is a big, big winner of the season,” Rohl said, noting Otegbayo’s significant development since pre-season. The manager also highlighted the tactical adjustments made to help the defender read the game more effectively, adding that both Otegbayo and Pierce Charles, fellow academy graduates, have the potential to play in the Championship next season.

Otegbayo, who has made 14 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday, is seen as a future star for the club, with hopes that he will continue to grow and eventually become a first-team regular. The Owls will be keen to give him more minutes in their remaining matches against Portsmouth and Watford, as they aim to finish the season strong.
