and live on Freeview channel 276
Adedoyin completed his move to Wednesday less than 10 days ago, but had been training with Garry Monk and his first team even before he was announced after impressing during his time with the U23s.
Now, with the club waiting to finalise all the documentation regarding his move, The Star understands that – as things stand – he is in line to be part of the Owls’ travelling squad for their midweek clash at Craven Cottage.

Hide AdThe 19-year-old was a free agent after leaving Everton at the end of last season and the influx of young players in Monk’s matchday squads of late will no doubt have influenced his decision to make the move to S6, but there was some surprise at the fact that he was given a first team squad number (36) straight away upon his arrival.
As reported elsewhere, there are still some final bits to sort out regarding Adedoyin’s paperwork, and whether that is done or not would determine whether he is eligible to feature against the Cottagers.
‘Cody’ had an impressive record at U18 level with the Toffees, and Monk will be eager to see if he can follow in the footsteps of the likes of Alex Hunt, Liam Shaw and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru in terms of performances from young players in a very new-look Owls setup.
