Sheffield Wednesday are still within a chance of earning promotion to the Championship for next season.

The Owls are 4th in the League One table with only one game left to play.

Darren Moore’s side are not quite guaranteed to earn a play-off position, with 7th place Wycombe Wanderers two points behind going into Saturday’s final day of the regular season.

But a win over Portsmouth on April 30 will secure a place in the promotion shootout competition.

Potential opponents in the play-offs would be Rotherham United, MK Dons, Sunderland, Plymouth or Wycombe.

Wednesday have ended the season in good form, with only one league defeat in their last 10 games.

The Hillsborough faithful will be right behind their side as they prepare to make it seven wins in their last 11 games on Saturday.

But for now, let’s look at eight players that could potentially leave the club in the upcoming summer transfer window…

Waldock has not played for Sheffield Wednesday all season and his contract is set to expire in June.

It is not expected that the 21-year old will renew his deal to stay at Hillsborough beyond the season.

That means it is very likely that the midfielder has played his final game for the club.

The Wednesday academy graduate previously played on loan for Gainsborough Trinity in 2021, where he made 10 appearances before returning to the club.

Paterson’s contract at Wednesday expires at the end of the season and it remains to be seen whether he will remain with the club beyond the summer.

The 27-year old joined the Owls in 2020 from Cardiff City and has played in 39 League One games this season, scoring six times.

The Scot has been a useful utility player under Moore, so it would come as no surprise if the club and player came to an agreement that kept him at Hillsborough.

Luongo has played 24 times in the league for Moore’s side this season, but his contract is set to expire in June which leaves his future with the club uncertain.

The Australian midfielder has been with the club since 2019 and has been a useful player to have in the team under Moore.

However, it remains to be seen if the club and player can come to an agreement over a new deal to keep him beyond the summer.

Berahino has helped to rehabilitate his career at Wednesday, having become an important squad player this season.

However, the striker only signed a one-year deal with the club when he arrived last summer.

That means his future with the club is uncertain going into the closing stages of the season.

Perhaps if he can play a key role in helping the team gain promotion back to the Championship then he could be in with a chance of striking a new deal with the Owls hierarchy.

Palmer has been with the club since graduating from the academy setup in 2010, having made over 300 appearances for the Owls in that time.

However, his time at Hillsborough could be coming to an end this summer with his contract set to expire in June.

The Scotland international has played 38 league games so far this season, contributing one goal and three assists in that time.

But it remains to be seen if the player and the club can come to an agreement over a new contract before the end of the season.

Dunkley has been with the club since joining from Wigan Athletic in 2020, but with his contract set to expire in June his future at Hillsborough is unclear.

The centre-back has been a useful squad player for Moore this campaign, playing 21 league games, with 15 starts.

But that might not be enough game time for him to seek a new deal with the club, nor for the decision makers to feel a new contract is a viable option depending on the expense of it all.

Hunt made his return to Sheffield Wednesday last summer having left to join Bristol City in 2018.

But the 31-year old only arrived with a one-year contract 12 months ago so could be about to leave just as he returned.

The Englishman has played 38 times in the league this season and has been an important figure in the side.

Yet the club is still to make a decision on his future, with a new contract unannounced.

Hutchinson has played 27 times in League One this season and has been a useful player for Moore.

The 32-year old also made his return to Hillsborough 12 months ago having left in 2020 to sign for Cyprus club Pafos.

But no decision has yet been made on his immediate future with the Owls having only signed an initial 12-month deal.

The defender’s future could yet depend on the status of Wednesday for next season as they are yet to confirm which division they will ply their trade in.
