Sheffield Wednesday favourite Carlton Palmer has hailed the ‘massive news’ that Marvin Johnson could soon return to the first team fold under new boss Danny Rohl.
Johnson played a key role under former manager Darren Moore as the Owls secured promotion from League One last season, but has since failed to make an appearance in the Championship under Moore’s replacement Xisco Munoz.
But that could soon change with a new manager in the dugout, with the 32-year-old teasing on his Instagram story this week that he’ll be ‘soon back’.
“Marvin Johnson has hinted at a return to Sheffield Wednesday,” Palmer told Football League World. “This is massive news for Sheffield Wednesday, Marvin was very instrumental in Wednesday getting promoted last season via the play-offs.
“Unfortunately, under the new manager Xisco, for whatever reason, he was put out to dry and in the cold. But with the caretaker manager coming in who knows him, he’s reverted back to the old guard that got the team promoted.
“They got their first result on Saturday under him, a draw at home against Huddersfield. But this is great news for Sheffield Wednesday, and hopefully Marvin can get back and get playing in the team and help Wednesday recover.”
