Sheffield Wednesday will visit Rotherham United in the second round of the Carabao Cup after Bury are expelled from the competition
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY will visit Rotherham United in all-South Yorkshire round-two tie in the Carabao Cup next Wednesday after receiving a bye into the second round
The development comes in the wake of Owls' scheduled opening-round encounter with crisis club Bury - pencilled in for Hillsborough last Tuesday - being suspended due to the parlous financial situation at the Lancashire outfit.
Bury have now been expelled from the competition, with the EFL ruling that the Owls have received a bye into round two.
