No first-team players featured in the Sheffield Wednesday XI that drew 3-3 with Scunthorpe United on Tuesday, according to the Star’s Owls reporter, Dom Howson.
Wednesday travelled to Lincolnshire this afternoon for a behind-closed-doors friendly.
But despite having to leave nine players out of his 18 man squad for Ipswich Town on Saturday, it would appear Steve Bruce chose not to hand out minutes to any of those currently struggling to get them.
Joe Wildsmith, Ashley Baker, Daniel Pudil, Joost van Aken, David Jones, Almen Abdi and Sam Winnall are among the Owls players omitted from recent matchday squads.
