Sheff Wed players to fulfil Leicester opener
Published: 8/5/2025

Sheffield Wednesday's players are set to play their opening Championship game against Leicester City despite a tumultuous off-season marked by wage delays, registration embargoes, structural concerns at Hillsborough, and the departure of boss Danny Rohl. The EFL has expressed doubts about the club's ability to fulfill fixtures, with a behind-closed-doors training match against Burnley canceled due to player refusal. Club captain Barry Bannan indicated that despite challenges, the squad is focused and available for selection.
