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.

In January 2022, Ogbeta signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Swansea City for a reported fee of £300,000. However, his time at Swansea was marred by hamstring issues, limiting him to just 53 minutes of play in his first half-season. It appeared he might leave the club that summer after reportedly being informed he was not part of manager Russell Martin’s first-team plans. Despite this setback, Ogbeta stayed at Swansea but struggled to break into the team.

“I’m not a huge fan” – Stoke City urged against Steven Schumacher transfer reunion

Stoke City has numerous foundational elements that need to be established to elevate the club to its full potential. Despite having some of the wealthiest owners in the Championship, the Potters consistently find themselves in the middle of the pack, rarely posing a serious threat to achieve higher standings.

Steven Schumacher has been tasked with changing this status quo, and a successful summer transfer window will be crucial in reshaping the team’s fortunes. The club has been linked with Mickel Miller, a former player of Schumacher’s. TEAMtalk reported that Stoke is considering a move for Miller, a wing-back currently with Plymouth Argyle, where contract renewal talks have stalled.

From a Stoke fan’s perspective, Liam Burks, a pundit for Football League World, believes that strengthening the left side of the defense is essential for the Potters this summer. However, he does not view Mickel Miller as an outstanding option to bolster their backline.

The Star reports that free agent Ovie Ejaria is of interest to Sheffield Wednesday, having trained with the team towards the end of their recent campaign. Although he couldn’t be registered in time, the 26-year-old midfielder could be a signing target for the 2024/25 season.

Liverpool is reportedly eyeing Sunderland’s rising talent, Chris Rigg, with several top European clubs closely monitoring the midfielder’s progress. The 16-year-old prodigy made his debut for the Black Cats under former manager Tony Mowbray at the age of 15 in December 2022, and has since made ten more appearances for the North-East club. Notably, Rigg etched his name in Sunderland’s history by becoming the youngest-ever goalscorer for the club at just 16 years and 51 days, finding the net in an EFL Cup clash against Crewe Alexandra in August.
