Injury update on Sheffield Wednesday defender – maybe it’s time to move on
and live on Freeview channel 276
Now 23, the central defender is at a point in his career where he needs to be playing regular football, but his chances of showing Xisco what he can offer took a hit in preseason when he picked up an injury whilst out in Spain.
Brennan had featured in the club’s preseason friendlies prior to their trip out to Costa Blanca, though was used as a right back rather than centrally during a period when the Owls boss was hardly flush for options prior to a host of arrivals. Darren Moore had also said that he would be part of things before his departure.

"He was injured in the pre-season and is still out injured,” he told the media. “We will see what happens when he recovers. It’s true the last week he’s started to come back and exercise outside and not just in the gym. We will have to see what happens in the next few days about him."
With a whole host of defensive arrivals such as Bambo Diaby, Di’Shon Bernard and Pol Valentin there is now a big battle for places in the Wednesday backline, and it’s beginning to feel like Brennan may need to look at moving on – either on loan or permanently – if he’s going to get a full season under his belt.
