The Story in 60 Seconds

Sheffield Wednesday winger Louie Barry is making progress in his recovery after suffering an ankle injury earlier this month against Wycombe Wanderers. Manager Henrik Pedersen confirmed the 23-year-old is in better spirits and moving forward, though he emphasized that the club must remain patient before the player can return.

Barry was ruled out for an estimated three months with ligament damage sustained on artificial turf beside the pitch. While Sheffield Wednesday has struggled for wide attacking options in recent goalless draws, upcoming fixture postponements due to international call-ups will reduce the total number of matches Barry misses.
