Sheffield Wednesday pair get international recognition
Sheffield Wednesday pair to get international experience
Two Owls players have been called-up for international duty.
Sean Fusire will join the Zimbabwe squad for The Unity Cup where they will compete against Nigeria, Jamaica and India. The competition was first hosted at The Valley, home of Charlton Athletic, in 2004 and returns 22 years later.
Zimbabwe face Nigeria in a semi-final clash on Tuesday, May 26 with a 7.30pm kick-off. India and Jamaica will go head-to-head in the other semi-final the following day. The third-place play-off will take place on Saturday, May 30 at 2:30pm and the final will kick-off later that same day at 7.30pm.
Last year’s tournament was staged at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium and Nigeria took the honours.
Fusire 20, who made 39 appearances in all competitions this season, including 35 in the Championship, is joined in the Zimbabwe squad by Marvelous Nakamba, who had a short stint at Wednesday this season but has now been released.
Elsewhere, young Owls striker Devlan Moses has been called-up to the Northern Ireland under-21 squad for their friendly against Portugal on June 3. Moses, 20, has scored regularly for Wednesday’s academy this season and made eight first-team appearances off the bench.
