A major injury boost has been granted to Sheffield Wednesday before of their crucial match this weekend against Rotherham United.
This Saturday, Sheffield Wednesday will travel a short distance across South Yorkshire to take on Rotherham United, the worst team.
After six successive losses and only one victory since October, the Millers are currently 16 points behind Sheffield Wednesday and 13 behind the conference leaders.
After defeating Bristol City 2-1 in their most recent game, the Owls have now won three of their previous four games and are only three points from safety.
Akin Famewo is “back in training” before his match against Rotherham United.
Due to a muscular injury, 25-year-old Akin Famewo has missed the last three Sheffield Wednesday games.
However, reporter Joe Crann has recently disclosed on X that Famewo is “back in training.” It remains to be seen if he is well enough to rejoin the team this coming weekend.
The former Norwich City player has been viewed more as a left-sided defender than a central one under both Danny Rohl and Xisco Munoz.
Even though Marvin Johnson now holds that position solid, Kristian Pedersen, the January addition, is still injured. Famewo’s impending return to action will give Rohl some much-needed left-wing covering.
Famewo’s comeback arrives just in time for Sheffield Wednesday’s match.
There are now 12 games left between Sheffield Wednesday and the season’s conclusion.
Thus, Rohl and company have twelve games to close the current three-point deficit to safety and maintain their Championship status for a more season.
Furthermore, Famewo’s return will greatly increase the Owls’ chances of surviving.
Johnson is under a lot of pressure to be healthy right now because Rohl won’t have any healthy left-backs if he gets hurt.
Furthermore, Johnson has been playing on the left side of a back-five in recent weeks, more like a left wing-back..
However, Famewo might be more effective when positioned on the left side of a back-four, so Rohl will have more shape options with his return.
Having someone with Famewo’s adaptability for the last stretch will be crucial, since there aren’t many center-backs available outside of the three that started the last game: Michael Ihiekwe, Liam Palmer, and Di’Shon Bernard, who is suspended this weekend.
Overall, Famewo’s return to training and impending return to competition is a huge plus for Rohl and the Owls.
Sheffield The match against Wednesday’s neighbors, Rotherham United, begins at 3 p.m. on Saturday. Rohl will also be closely monitoring Stoke City’s matchup with Middlesbrough at home, QPR’s away match against Leicester City, and Millwall’s matchup with Watford at home.
