Reason behind Callum Paterson’s shock Sheffield Wednesday absence revealed

Callum Paterson was a surprise omission from Sheffield Wednesday’s 1-1 Championship draw with Preston North End on Saturday.

The burly Scot, who came off the bench to provide the assist for Jamal Lowe’s last-gasp winner at Derby County the previous weekend, sat out of the squad entirely for the first time since October. Owls boss Danny Röhl explained his absence was down to an injury picked up in the week. Though he stopped well short of a timescale for any comeback, he made clear the issue was not a major one – though further assessments are set to take place as the injury settles.

We know this with the schedule, in one week even if it is a small injury a player can miss three games. All the other guys are so far OK.”
