It's now well over a year since Julian Borner completed his move to Sheffield Wednesday.

Joining the club from Arminia Bielefeld in his native Germany back in the 2019 summer transfer window, there was always going to be plenty of intrigue about the relatively unknown centre back.

Since then, things have certainly been eventful for Borner during his time at Hillsborough, with plenty to discuss from both an individual, and club, perspective.

So exactly how have things gone for Borner during his time with the Owls so far, and what exactly can we expect from him in the future?

Here, we take a look at that in our latest "hat-trick" feature.

How's it gone so far?

On an individual level, it has gone reasonably well for Borner.

The German has produced some solid performances during his time at Hillsborough, and was a key part of the Owls' backline last season in particular, when he helped Wednesday to 13 wins and 12 clean sheets during his 37 league appearances for the club.

Borner is now approaching 50 appearances in all competitions for the club, having made 48 in total so far, although that arguably highlights the problems that Wednesday have faced in spite of his impressive individual performances.

Having started his time at Wednesday under caretaker manager Lee Bowen, the sacking of Garry Monk on Monday means that Borner is about to get his third different manager in little more than a year at Hillsborough, with the club currently rooted in the Championship relegation zone.

What issues does he face?

Like every player at Sheffield Wednesday, the big upcoming challenge for Borner will be to keep his place in the side under the new manager.

The German had been enjoying a run of games in the side immediately prior Monk's dismissal, so he is one of those who could be under scrutiny from the new manager, as they look to put their own mark on the side.

Just who Monk's replacement is remains to be seen, meaning it is hard to know exactly what Borner and his teammates should expect from their new manager.

But with Wednesday still battling to avoid relegation this season, Borner and his teammates are going to be under pressure to help retain the Owls' Championship status this season, particularly in a campaign where the schedule is so challenging.

What's Next?

Following the international break this week, it could be a busy period for Borner when Wednesday return to action.

With the Owls due to play 11 league games before the turn of the year once the league resumes for Wednesday on the 21st November, this could be a key period for the club if they are to avoid a nervous season flirting with relegation.

The pressure therefore, may well be on for Borner and co. and given the physical toll that many games in such a short space could have, it may well be a challenging time for the German, who could find himself in and out of the side as Wednesday and their new manager look to cope with the demands of that schedule.
