The first one kept him out of action for three and a half months, and the second one for nearly two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yet, Charles has gone viral many times for different reasons.

The Foxes were in desperate need of a win to get out of the relegation zone and had the Owls in front of them. It looked like a guaranteed three points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And perhaps it would have been &#8211; if it wasn&#8217;t for Charles.

It&#8217;s a lot of quality and experience for such a young keeper. And the Owls will need every pound they can get for him &#8211; would be an ideal sale for their alarming current financial state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what he needs the most right now is to keep playing and developing. A move to Man City, for instance, as reported, would take him into the exact same situation James Trafford finds himself in right now. He does have chances to shine in cup ties, but not much more than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe another year in the Championship &#8211; but this time for a promotion-contending side &#8211; would be the ideal situation for him. But at this point it&#8217;s hard to see him staying at Hillsborough next season.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Pierce Charles has stood out massively after returning from injury a month ago.
