We have the most recent news for you in that regard. Not to mention expert opinion and that of the people directly involved in the situation on both sides.

Owls experience turbulence
Repeated so-called mismanagement along with continuous breaches of English Football League regulations have apparently landed the South Yorkshire side in hot water. I mean, we could be talking of LCFC here, but the Sheffield outfit appear to be ran even more poorly than ourselves.

However, good news came out of Hillsborough Stadium early this week, with days slowly counting down to the opening clashes of the Championship campaign. Now Wednesday captain Barry Bannan has spoken of his expectations concerning the upcoming tier two contest.
"When asked whether the players could go on strike and refuse to play against the Foxes, Bannan told Talksport: "No, I don't think so."BBC Sport
The Sheffield stalwart revealed he 'expects' his team to compete in the Leicester opener. Wednesdays stars did, though, refuse to play in a recent friendly versus Burnley; causing concern amongst EFL bosses.
Bannan, a respected professional, doesn't foresee his teammates going on strike or missing the Foxes meeting. The northern English club have a mere 15 senior players at present.
