Barry Bannan

Sheffield Wednesday’s latest home defeat to Oxford United was compounded by a string of injury concerns, with several senior players missing from the squad. Manager Danny Röhl revealed that key figures like Barry Bannan, Michael Smith, and Olaf Kobacki were sidelined due to fitness issues, though some could have featured if absolutely necessary. Röhl opted instead to rotate the squad, offering chances to others while stressing the need for greater intensity and higher standards across the team.
