Michael Ihiekwe was initially named in Sheffield Wednesday’s starting line-up for their match against Stoke City, but a last-minute change saw him withdrawn just ahead of kick-off. Manager Danny Röhl revealed that the decision was made due to a severe injury — Ihiekwe had sustained a deep cut during training the previous day, which made wearing boots too painful. Despite traveling to the match, he was replaced by Dominic Iorfa, who was later substituted himself before the hour mark. Röhl confirmed that Iorfa’s substitution was a tactical decision, not injury-related, and provided valuable minutes for rookie Gabriel Otegbayo.

Danny Röhl has praised Michael Ihiekwe for his impressive resurgence this season, describing his progress as something that brings a “smile in his heart.” After a tough spell out of the squad earlier in the campaign, Ihiekwe seized an opportunity following injuries to other players and has since played 14 consecutive 90-minute matches. His leadership was further recognized when he captained Sheffield Wednesday during their midweek draw with Blackburn Rovers. Ihiekwe’s performances have earned him national recognition, with the 32-year-old nominated for the EFL Championship Player of the Month award for March after scoring two crucial goals in recent matches. Röhl highlighted Ihiekwe’s growth, noting how he has adapted to the team’s style and continues to develop, regardless of age.
