Sheffield Wednesday defender Gabriel Otegbayo admitted he was taken by surprise when he was called up to make his Championship debut against Norwich City on Tuesday night. The 20-year-old centre-back, who has impressed manager Danny Röhl since preseason, was handed a starting role after an injury to Dominic Iorfa. Despite having been at the club for just eight months, Otegbayo rose to the occasion, helping to protect a 2-0 lead and secure a vital three points for the Owls.

“I wasn’t expecting it, but I was ready,” Otegbayo said after the match. “It was a great feeling, and I was buzzing to get onto the pitch. The gaffer and his staff believe in me, and I went on full of confidence knowing I’ve got great lads around me. As long as I did my job, we’d get the three points we were hoping for.” Reflecting on the fast-paced nature of the game, he added, “It was surreal. The game went so quickly, but I’ve been able to soak it in today and hopefully there’s more to come.” With the Steel City derby against Sheffield United on the horizon, Otegbayo is ready to step up again if called upon.

Shane Duffy refused to blame Norwich City’s defeat on their growing injury list, insisting the underwhelming performance against Sheffield Wednesday was due to costly errors, not missing players. Despite dominating possession, the Canaries lacked attacking purpose and suffered from defensive lapses, leading to two early goals that handed the game to their opponents. Duffy, stepping in as captain, urged his teammates to take responsibility and see this challenging period as an opportunity for others to step up. “This is what having a squad is for,” he stated. “It’s not about who’s missing; it’s about making the most of who’s on the field.”

Leeds United Faces Major Injury Setback Just Before Crucial Clashes with Norwich City and Sunderland!

Here’s an excerpt from the paraphrased text:

Leeds United is preparing for their upcoming match against Sunderland on Friday night but faces significant injury setbacks. Manager Daniel Farke has confirmed that Ethan Ampadu will miss the trip and may be sidelined for over two months due to a serious lateral knee ligament injury sustained during Saturday’s 3-0 victory over Coventry City. Ampadu has been a key player for Leeds since joining from Chelsea last summer, starting all eight competitive matches this season.

Farke stated that while surgery isn’t necessary and conservative treatment has been recommended, it may take around ten weeks before Ampadu can return to team training, with a possible comeback in December. In his absence, Pascal Struijk will take on the captaincy, and Farke has praised him for his leadership and performance, noting the importance of maintaining that level as the team navigates through these challenges.
