Sheffield Wednesday has made a crucial decision by securing Joe Lumley from Bristol City on an emergency loan. This move comes in response to a recent incident where their first-choice goalkeeper, Ethan Horvath, received a red card during a match against Charlton. As a result, the team found itself without a senior goalkeeper, prompting the urgent need for a reliable replacement.
