What has been said ahead of Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds United?

Leeds boss Farke has said: “Overall we know after a loss of many key players, it’s a bit of a rebuild (this season). We had the disappointing outcome in the Carabao Cup. It was internally that day confirmed the exit clause of Georginio Rutter. We risked a bit too many rotations this game. We got the feeling we need to do this at this moment. I think we can live with it, that we won’t win the Carabao Cup this season. Apart from that it’s a new group, pre-season was perfect, five wins, impressive wins.

“We start in the league with two draws, I think away at WBA a draw and clean sheet is a really good result. We are disappointed with just a draw against Portsmouth - performance-wise it was just one of those days. Sadly we only scored three and should have scored seven or eight if I’m honest.”

Sheffield Wednesday head coach Danny Rohl has urged his side to bounce back from their heavy loss to Sunderland and has said: “For me it is clear, after the win against Plymouth I was not in Disneyland and dreaming for more. I was in reality and today I am in reality. What I want to do with my team looks good in the last days, today we did not really come into the game and what we wanted to do.

“This (the defeat) is also because of our opponent, and we should never forget we always have an opponent who will try good things with good players. They did well today and for us it is still about learning, learning, learning, improve. On Tuesday we start to prepare ourselves for Leeds. I want to see a team that is again nasty and able to be competitive with a strong Leeds, we will try it again.”
