Sheffield Wednesday’s first away match of the 2024/25 season in the Carabao Cup is scheduled for August 14th against Hull City. This confirmation follows last week’s announcement of the Owls’ initial cup game, initially slated for the week of August 12th. With their Championship opener against Plymouth Argyle set for August 11th, the midweek clash was anticipated to be later than games involving Friday or Saturday fixtures.

The club has now detailed that the Carabao Cup match will commence at 7:45pm at the MKM Stadium. This announcement comes as Danny Röhl and his squad continue their preseason preparations, with additional matches against Alfreton Town and LaLiga side Leganes, as well as a potential trip to Germany, offering further opportunities to fine-tune their strategy.

Sunderland defender Zak Johnson has enjoyed a successful loan spell in Ireland and is now aiming for a spot in the Black Cats’ first team. The 19-year-old joined Dundalk for the 2023-24 season, where he made a significant impact by helping the team achieve a club record of eight consecutive home clean sheets. Johnson’s consistent performances earned him the 1903 Dundalk FC Supporters Club Player of the Month award and a nomination for the Soccer Writers of Ireland Player of the Month award for May. Reflecting on his time at Dundalk, Johnson emphasized the importance of playing as many games as possible and proving his reliability and maturity, regardless of his age. With these experiences, he hopes to secure a place in Sunderland’s first team under new head coach Régis Le Bris.
