On Friday, the Spanish LaLiga team Leganes utilized Sheffield Wednesday’s Middlewood Road training ground. This visit marks the club’s first-ever trip to the United Kingdom, culminating in a match against Sheffield Wednesday. Known as Los Pepineros, Leganes had been training in Burnley prior to this and played a friendly against the Clarets last week, which ended in a 0-0 draw. They hope for a better outcome at Hillsborough, although Danny Röhl and his team aim to spoil their visit. Despite not having much success in their preseason games, with a loss to AD Alcorcón and draws against Burnley and OGC Nice, Leganes are eager to secure a victory in South Yorkshire as they gear up for their first season back in the top flight.

Sheffield Wednesday manager, Danny Röhl, is eager to see the Owls advance in their preparations for the upcoming season. The team has been back in training for over a week, working hard to get ready for the 2024/25 campaign. However, their efforts are set to intensify over the next six days as they move to the Football Association’s facility at St. George’s Park.

Röhl has praised the ‘fantastic’ facilities available at the Staffordshire site, believing this camp will be crucial for advancing their preparations. He stated, “We keep going and this week we go to our first preseason camp and I am looking forward to this as the next step… We need time to bring everyone together, to be connected and we will keep going and move forward.” The Owls began their friendlies on a positive note, defeating Alfreton Town 2-0 over the weekend and are now looking forward to upcoming matches against RB Salzburg, Werder Bremen, and Leganes as part of their preseason schedule.

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.
