Sheffield Wednesday: Ciaran Brennan’s injury ‘won’t be too serious’
Sheffield Wednesday defender Ciaran Brennan’s scary-looking injury ‘won’t be too serious’, according to journalist Alex Miller.
The Lowdown: Potentially major
The League One centre-back joined Swindon Town on a season-long loan last summer but has recently suffered a setback in his development at the County Ground.
During Saturday’s 3-0 victory over Harrogate, the 22-year-old had to be removed from the pitch after sustaining a dislocated shoulder, which caused initial concern amongst supporters that this could be a major problem.
However, an encouraging update on his situation has now emerged…

Taking to Twitter, Miller claimed that Brennan’s injury doesn’t appear to be as bad as first feared. He wrote:
“Young Ciaran Brennan was stretchered off while playing for Swindon Town over the weekend. There’s hope his injury won’t be too serious but it looked a sore one.”
Expanding in his column for The Star, the reporter stated that damage has been ‘limited’ thanks to the medical intervention, though there has been ‘no set timescale’ on his return.
The Verdict: Huge boost
Brennan has made 21 appearances for Swindon so has been getting the game time he joined for, and it’ll be a boost for him to know that he won’t be facing a long spell on the sidelines.
The Owls starlet was averaging 2.5 clearances and 1.2 aerial wins per fourth-tier game prior to his absence, highlighting the rock he’s become for the Robins (WhoScored).
The Sheffield-born talent has also made 19 interceptions during his time in Wiltshire so both Swindon and Wednesday will be hoping that he can stage his comeback sooner rather than later.
Should Moore give Brennan a first-team chance?
Yes, he's got potential!
No, he's not ready yet!
