The Valley, London, Britain - January 1, 2022. Charlton Athletic's Akin Famewo in action with Wycombe Wanderers' Brandon Hanlan.
Sheffield Wednesday defender Akin Famewo being ready to return to action is ‘good news’, according to journalist Joe Crann.
The Lowdown: Spell on the sidelines
The League One promotion contenders signed the centre-back from Norwich City over the summer, but after sustaining a serious injury on his debut against MK Dons, hasn’t featured since.
The 24-year-old, however, recently made his return to action from the sidelines in a behind-closed-doors game vs Huddersfield’s B side last week, with Darren Moore confirming that he is now ready to stage his comeback in the third tier.
The Latest: Crann’s reaction
Taking to Twitter, Crann reacted to Wednesday’s positive update on Famewo, whilst revealing that Dennis Adeniran is also nearing a return. He wrote:
“Good news for #SWFC as Akin Famewo is given the all clear to play once again – and Dennis Adeniran is set to feature over the Christmas period.”
The Verdict: Boost for Moore
Famewo is a hugely exciting player and it’ll be a massive boost for Moore to have him available for selection once again to finally unleash him in a Sheffield Wednesday shirt.
The 6 foot 1 defender excelled on loan at Charlton last season, averaging 3.7 clearances and 2.2 successful aerial duels per game, highlighting the rock he can be at the heart of a backline (WhoScored).
The Owls host Oxford United this weekend and there’s a strong chance that Famewo could be set to make his home debut in front of the supporters at the Hillsborough Stadium.
Do you think Sheffield Wednesday will gain promotion this season?
