Wayne Rooney has ‘an idea’ about who will face Sheffield Wednesday for Plymouth Argyle
Plymouth Argyle manager Wayne Rooney isn’t entirely certain of the starting eleven that will face Sheffield Wednesday, but he does have a general idea of how the team will shape up. The Owls will meet the Pilgrims on August 11th at Hillsborough, marking the ninth encounter between the teams since early 2021. This matchup has become a familiar battle in recent years.
However, the upcoming clash will feature changes, with Wayne Rooney now leading Plymouth and Danny Röhl having conducted a summer rebuild at Sheffield Wednesday. This means the teams will look quite different compared to their last encounter in March, when the Owls secured a 1-0 victory at Hillsborough. For Rooney, this game will be his first official match as Plymouth’s manager following his appointment in May. He emphasizes the importance of players proving themselves in training sessions to earn a spot in the lineup.
