Sheffield Wednesday travelled to Holland today where they will play their first two pre-season friendlies as they start to step up their preparations for the new season.
Wednesday will play two matches in the Netherlands, kicking off on Tuesday evening against HFC Haarlem before taking on Stormvogel Telstar on Thursday.
Both games will be played in Heiloo, not far from the city of Amsterdam.
The Owls travel to the lowlands without striker Francis Jeffers and right-back Frank Simek. The pair will remain in England to work on their fitness following long spells on the sidelines through injuries.
