Sheffield Wednesday Team News Ahead of Southampton Clash
Sheffield Wednesday prepare to face Southampton this Saturday as Henrik Pedersen's squad continues its challenging season. The team has shown resilience, managing to secure two draws in their last two matches — away at West Brom and at home against Norwich City. Overall, they have drawn four of their seven away games this season.
Current Form and League Standing
Despite some promising results, Sheffield Wednesday's season struggles persist, with only one league win recorded. The club faces a tough path forward, sitting at the bottom of the table following a 12-point deduction for administration. Upcoming fixtures include the Steel City derby against Sheffield United and challenging away matches at Millwall and Preston North End, both strong contenders for the playoffs.
Southampton's Situation
Southampton, under caretaker manager Tonda Eckert, aim to revive their season after securing a crucial away win at QPR during the week. The club is still searching for a permanent head coach.
Injury Updates
Sheffield Wednesday have suffered with injuries throughout the season. Pedersen recently confirmed that midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah, initially expected to return in early November, will remain sidelined for an additional three to four weeks.
"Nathaniel Chalobah will remain out for another three to four weeks," revealed Pedersen.
Sheffield Wednesday's resilience highlights their effort to overcome adversity despite a difficult season and upcoming challenging fixtures.
