Reason for attacker absence revealed: Background issue makes Sheffield Wednesday comeback all the more impressive
After a humiliating first half in which Boro’s superb attacking stable dominated, the Owls dragged themselves down the tunnel trailing 3-0 at the Riverside. Wednesday’s incredible comeback concluded with them pursuing the game-winning goal after goals from Yan Valery, Josh Windass, and Svante Ingelsson had tied the score.
No other Championship team can match Wednesday’s massive 15 points gained from losing situations, and manager Danny Röhl told The Star after the game that it demonstrated the character of his team.
Other challenges were overcome in the last days in the form of a wave of illness at Middlewood Road. Four players missed out on the weekend’s win over Stoke City and the likes of Liam Palmer and Michael Ihiekwe remained unavailable – with Anthony Musaba a fresh patient. The Star is told some of the players who were involved at Boro were not all at 100 per cent.
Röhl stated: “We had to try to stop this. Right now, we don’t have any injuries, but the illnesses are coming and this is something we need to stop. But you see the players that were out there ran their socks off and tried everything. We played at a high level to go again and again and come level. We did it again and this is what we have to take from this game.” Musa became ill overnight, which is why we added Olaf to the squad. Ben is still very ill, and Icky is also very ill.
