EFL Championship Midweek Matches Feature Key American Players

Sheffield, England — The EFL Championship schedule remains busy this week as two American players aim to secure crucial points for their clubs. Josh Sargent‘s Norwich City faces off against Ethan Horvath‘s Sheffield Wednesday in a vital match for both teams struggling near the bottom of the league table on Wednesday.

Sargent, the U.S. men's national team forward, has had a tough time finding his form, having not scored since August 30. Norwich City is in dire straits, with no wins in their last nine matches. If head coach Liam Manning hopes to keep his position, Sargent will need to rediscover his scoring touch at Hillsborough.

Horvath recently returned to the starting lineup for Sheffield Wednesday after serving a suspension. The veteran goalkeeper played a key role in their last match, making six saves in a 0-0 draw against West Bromwich Albion, which ended a four-match losing streak for the Owls.

Both Sargent and Horvath are eager to help their teams improve after disappointing runs. Norwich City is currently among the bottom teams in the league, alongside Sheffield Wednesday. A victory could make a significant difference in their fight for survival.

In addition to this EFL Championship matchup, several other American players are in action across Europe. Weston McKennie leads Juventus against Sporting Lisbon, while Haji Wright‘s Coventry City will take on Sheffield United in England.

As the week progresses, more American players in various leagues will seek to make their mark, aiming for success in their respective teams’ campaigns.
