Danny Rohl should turn to one Sheffield Wednesday youngster as an option for the upcoming game.
Sheffield Wednesday are gearing up for a cup clash against Premier League side Brentford.
The game in the EFL Cup round of 16 will likely see a revamped side to the one that came out as 2-1 victors in the away win against Portsmouth at the weekend, which saw the Owls win courtesy of a wonder strike from Michael Smith.
Danny Rohl is known for looking to bring those less in favour in for a spot in the side for cup competitions, such as Pierce Charles, who has been called up to the Northern Ireland senior team since his last competitive match for Sheffield Wednesday.
It is likely that another Owls youngster will get a spot in the starting 11, and he is one that Rohl is certainly more-than fond of.
Danny Rohl should turn towards Sean Fusire for Sheffield Wednesday against Brentford
Sheffield Wednesday gem Sean Fusire has recently piqued the interest of the German boss after his impressive performances with the U21s, where he has been ‘immense’, and Rohl even took the decision to promote him to first-team training earlier on in the 2024/25 campaign.
After previously notching appearances in the EFL Cup for the Owls, it should certainly be a case that this fate is repeated against Brentford.
There will also be a likely emphasis on Rohl resting some key players for the tie, and it will be likely that either Barry Bannan or Shea Charles will be handed a deserved rest after their previous brilliant performances.
First team game time will be crucial for Sean Fusire and his development
The Owls 19-year-old has certainly showcased his abilities in small doses up until this point after three starts in the EFL Cup, and continuing the trend of handing him game time in the cup competitions will without a doubt have a brilliant impact on his development as a teenager.
He has been more than patient in waiting for opportunities with the first team, and he is yet to be handed his first minutes in the 2024/25 Championship season, but a solid performance against a Premier League outfit could easily propel him to contention for the latter stages of the campaign.
Based on what has been seen of Fusire so far as part of the U21s, there is no doubt that he will become a key part of Sheffield Wednesday’s future, and it is crucial that Rohl has spotted this early on in order to hand him the necessary game time to aid his development at such a young age.
