New dates for two Sheffield Wednesday fixtures have been confirmed.

The Owls are second in League One after the first seven games of the new season. They also kicked-off their EFL Trophy campaign with a win against Salford City on Tuesday night.

Henrik Pedersen’s men were due to visit Stevenage this Saturday and then host Cambridge United the weekend after but both matches were postponed because of international call-ups. It means Wednesday don’t have another game now until they welcome Sunderland under-21s to Hillsborough on October 6. Their next league outing comes days later, away at Huddersfield Town on October 10.

After a busy start to the season and with The Owls having injuries in the camp, those two postponements were seen as a positive as they allow the team to rest, get players out of the treatment room and complete solid work on the training ground.

The trip to Stevenage and the visit of Cambridge United have now been given new dates:

- Cambridge United home - Tuesday, October 27 at 7.45pm

- Stevenage away - Tuesday, November 24 at 7.45pm

It means Wednesday will host Cambridge in-between travelling to Doncaster Rovers and welcoming Blackpool to S6. And they will go Stevenage between Barnsley away and Reading at home.

On the extended international break, Owls boss Pedersen said: “We will use the break for a little rest, and then we will use the break for a very tough week where we have to improve in the physical level, in all areas, and then we'll have a third week for preparation for the Huddersfield game. So it will be a combination of rest, then a tough week where we have to make the next level, and then a preparation week, and then they'll of course be a lot of individual conversation.”
