Reports emerging within the last hour indicate that Sheffield Wednesday captain Barry Bannan has been provisionally suspended from EFL-related activities, pending clarification of an ongoing matter that is currently under review by league authorities.

According to early information circulating online, the suspension follows an initial test result that has not yet been officially detailed, with the English Football League (EFL) yet to release a full statement confirming the nature, scope, or outcome of the situation. At this time, no final disciplinary decision has been publicly announced.

Sources close to the club suggest that Sheffield Wednesday were informed of the issue earlier today and are said to be co-operating fully with the league’s procedures, while also stressing the importance of due process and confidentiality.

Barry Bannan, one of the club’s most influential figures and a long-serving fan favourite, has not been formally charged with any offence, and representatives close to the player have indicated that he is awaiting the results of further assessments before commenting in full.

A brief club statement released moments ago read:

“Sheffield Wednesday Football Club is aware of reports concerning Barry Bannan. The matter is currently under review by the relevant authorities, and the club will not be making further comment until official confirmation is received.”

Fans have taken to social media expressing both concern and support for the midfielder, with many calling for patience until verified information is made public.

This story is developing, and further updates are expected once the EFL issues an official statement clarifying the circumstances surrounding the provisional suspension.
