Sheffield Wednesday v Swansea City is OFF
But that game will now not go ahead this weekend, and it remains to be seen when the game will be squeezed into the Owls’ already busy schedule.
The club said on their official website, “The Owls’ Championship home game against Swansea has been postponed due to a frozen pitch. A pitch inspection at Hillsborough was conducted on Friday and the surface deemed unplayable. The fixture will be rearranged with details announced in due course.”

Hide AdWednesday don’t have a game in midweek after their trip to Reading on March 6th, but that week would be problematic for Swansea given that they’re due to play away at Blackburn Rovers on March 9th.
To look for a silver lining, however, Wednesday do have a number of injuries at present, and the lack of game this weekend will give them chance to try and get a few players backs fit and also give Neil Thompson a bit more time to work with his players on the training ground.
The likes of Massimo Luongo, Moses Odubajo, Joost van Aken and probably Andre Green were all set to miss the visit of the Swans, but at least one of them could be available for their next game in the Championship.
Next up for Wednesday, then, is a trip to Stoke City next Tuesday, and they’ll be hoping that any issues they’ve out with the pitch can be sorted ahead of the visit of Birmingham City on February 20th.
We’ll report any updates as they happen.
