Mystery Omission: Why Two Key Sheffield Wednesday Stars Were Left Out Against Oxford United
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.
Exclusive: Shock Twist in Jayden Danns’ Future as Sunderland Move Looms Away from Liverpool!
Lee Hendrie believes both Sunderland and Jayden Danns will be left disappointed by how the highly anticipated loan move from Liverpool has unfolded. Despite being a sought-after talent in the January transfer window, Danns has yet to make an impact at Wearside due to an underlying back injury discovered during his medical. Sunderland pushed ahead with the deal regardless, but the injury has kept the young striker sidelined, forcing him to undergo rehabilitation at Liverpool.
Speaking to *Football League World*, Hendrie described the situation as a gamble that “hasn’t paid off,” noting that Sunderland fans would have loved to see Danns in action. While there is hope he might return before the season ends, the club’s risk in signing an injured player has ultimately left them without the boost they had anticipated. Now, as Sunderland’s push for promotion stalls, questions arise about whether their transfer strategy should have prioritized fully fit players ready to make an immediate impact.
