Henrik Pedersen makes Sheffield Wednesday fitness claim ahead of Stoke City clash – thestar.co.uk
Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen said his players were physically ready for their home match against Stoke City, despite a disrupted summer and concerns over the squad’s preparation. The claim matters because Wednesday’s small, recently assembled group faced a demanding early-season test after beginning the Championship campaign with a defeat.
Pedersen indicated that the team’s fitness work had progressed and that he was focused on making the side competitive against Stoke. Wednesday had lost 2-1 at Leicester City in their opening league fixture, while the Stoke match was their first home league game of the season.
In short
- Pedersen says Wednesday are fit for Stoke.
- The Owls’ preparations were disrupted.
- Stoke visit after Wednesday’s Leicester defeat.
Explained simply
Sheffield Wednesday are preparing for a home match against Stoke City in the Championship. Manager Henrik Pedersen's side has faced a difficult pre-season, with considerable squad changes and limited preparation time before the season began.
The fixture carries significant importance given Wednesday's poor start to the campaign. They lost their opening league match 2-1 away at Leicester City, making this their first home league game a key opportunity to establish themselves in the division.
