Breaking News: Sheffield Wednesday is performing at a “higher level” as Danny Röhl talks about player losses that are unavoidable.

Sheffield Wednesday’s early summer infusion of new players will inevitably result in more departures, but manager Danny Röhl has stated that each player will be given an opportunity to prove themselves worthy of the challenge that lies ahead.

This summer, the Owls moved quickly to add six new players to the team, as seven long-term players left. Due to some loan players returning to their parent club

s, the current squad is smaller than it was at the end of the previous campaign. Ike Ugbo and Ian Poveda are trying to follow James Beadle’s lead, who has returned. Di’Shon Bernard is the final player whose contract negotiations have not yet been concluded; he is still in contact with the team.

Röhl has reiterated that the team must keep moving forward in the trade market in order to compete higher in the standings following their incredible season-long survival. Given that the squad can only consist of 25, it appears inevitable that current players will eventually be let go. As the bar rises, Röhl indicated that it will be up to periphery players to demonstrate that they can perform at a high level.

The German coach stated, “At first, all the players are still under contract.” “We’ll see what happens after they start with us in the preseason. We have, I believe, eight weeks left in the transfer window, so they will have an opportunity to compete for certain slots by showing up.

“Everyone must decide whether or not to participate in this, as some positions will be at a higher level than they were last season. Naturally, I will make some decisions as we must compete for each position. There are a lot of games in this season, so everyone will need to put in a lot of work. We’ll see what we can do.

Wednesday are at St George’s Park this week for the first of two training camps. Later this month they’ll travel to Germany for another camp and will cross the border for two matches in Austria. The first, against RB Salzburg, will be played behind closed doors at the Red Bull Arena on July 20 before they head to Zell am Ziller to take on Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen on July 26.
