Key Things to Know
  • Ali Al-Hamadi's omission from Iraq's squad casts doubt over whether Sheffield Wednesday can postpone their Plymouth Argyle match.

The Story in 60 Seconds

Sheffield Wednesday’s League One fixture against Plymouth Argyle on November 14 faces uncertainty after forward Ali Al-Hamadi was omitted from Iraq's squad. EFL regulations allow clubs to postpone matches if three or more senior players receive international call-ups. Al-Hamadi’s omission due to an ongoing injury leaves the Owls balancing on the postponement threshold.

Wednesday’s ability to call off the fixture now hinges on whether Yan Valery, Harry Gray, and Kieran Morrison receive international selections without suffering injuries. While Morrison has already joined Northern Ireland, Valery and Gray await confirmation from Tunisia and England Under-19s respectively. Plymouth Argyle manager Tom Cleverley has stated his side is eager to play through the international window.
