Sheffield Wednesday will leave English shores this week as they head over to Austria and Germany for their second preseason camp of the summer.
The Owls have had a busy few weeks both on and off the training ground as Danny Röhl puts together a side hoping to make a splash in the Championship next season, and so far a total of nine signings have been made – all of whom featured in some part in their trip to St. George’s Park in Staffordshire last week.
Now they’re back at Middlewood Road for a short period, though the work continues, and later this week they’ll jump on a plane and jet out for the next part of their schedule – which includes games against former German and Austrian Bundesliga champions, Werder Bremen and RB Salzburg.
Röhl is no stranger to the environment, of course, and he says that it’s important to face good opposition in their final preseason fixtures so that they can get a gauge of where they’re at. They’ll face Salzburg first, at Red Bull Arena, before heading into the mountains to take on Bremen at a venue the German has attended before – Parkstadion in Zell Am Ziller. He’s explained what each fixture will give them.
