Sheffield Wednesday’s grip on Championship football has weakened even further, with their relegation to League One looks likely to be confirmed this weekend, unless their opponents are defeated and they win all three points at Bramall Lane.

Sheffield United may have the opportunity to send the Owls to the League. One at home on Sunday afternoon, but Henrik Pedersen’s team may be down by Saturday evening if results don’t go their way. However, a return to the third tier is unavoidable.

However, there is good news for Hillsborough fans, as their head coach has confirmed a new injury report, which will have supporters happy because the club now has something to celebrate.

While the player will not be able to play for Sheffield Wednesday for another few months, he is getting close to returning, which might be critical ahead of next season.

Henrik Pedersen confirms interesting Di’Shon Bernard and Sheffield Wednesday update.

Di’Shon Bernard has been out of play for the Owls for nearly a year after suffering an extremely catastrophic knee injury in a 2-1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion in early February 2025.

He returned to training for the club lately, but there were concerns that he had suffered a setback from pushing too hard. However, Pedersen has verified some fantastic news that Sheffield Wednesday fans will be delighted to hear.

He stated (via The Star): “It’s a very positive conclusion that there is no setback.” He was in discomfort, but he had exercised too hard, which is really beneficial. His mentality, and how he works every day, as well as with the other injured players, is incredible. However, he has trained too hard. The doctor was concerned about a setback, so we performed a scan. However, there is no setback; he only needs to rest and workout again.Let’s see how it goes; he’s working hard, so we can all hope. He is an excellent player with a terrific personality. He will undoubtedly provide significant value to the team and will return when the time comes.He was our best defender last season. His physical power, acceleration, ability to stay high on the pitch, and, of course, ball skills, are all really strong. So, of course, he’s a brilliant centre-back, and we’re looking forward to his return.”

Di’Shon Bernard, who has made 67 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday, played a key role in the team’s ascent up the Championship table before his injury last season. The club hopes Bernard will stay with them in League One.

According to TransferMarkt, he still has a year left on his contract at the end of this season, therefore the Owls will be desperate to preserve him in the summer transfer window to avoid losing a senior player.

However, other Championship clubs will be interested, and with the South Yorkshire outfit’s future still uncertain, doubts will be raised about whether they can keep him going forward.
