Striker dropped as Sheffield Wednesday XI revealed – Owls face Luton Town
Danny Röhl has named his Sheffield Wednesday XI to face Luton Town this afternoon.
Röhl has made changes both from the side that started in the draw against Queens Park Rangers as well as the win over Blackpool in the cup, with Iké Ugbo being moved to the bench being the biggest surprise – Di’Shon Bernard is into the centre of defence in place of Michael Ihiekwe.
Speaking ahead of the tie, the Owls boss said, “Of course, we can take something from the last two games and for the team I think this is important. We will try everything, we know Luton is a tough place and that they are a team with high ambitions. But I feel the spirit, I feel the belief and the atmosphere is positive and the focus is there.
“Players are showing me they want to be in the starting XI and this is what I want to see. The team against QPR tried everything but we have good competition, it’s good that we can rotate the players and in the cup we came through. Nearly everybody has had good minutes in the first weeks of the season and this is helpful to manage the group.”
Here’s how the two teams line up –
Wednesday XI: Beadle, Valery, Palmer, Bernard, Famewo, Johnson, S. Charles, Bannan (c), Kobacki, Windass, Smith
Luton XI: Kaminski, Walters, Burke, McGuinness, Mengi, Doughty, Nakamba, Walsh, Clark, Chong, Adebayo
