Friendlies round-up as Sheffield Wednesday told to keep going and Barnsley FC’s lack of goals is highlighted
Meanwhile League One Barnsley came back from their own camp, in Loughborough, with a 1-0 defeat to Real Mallorca that highlighted their need for more goal threat.
The Owls’ game, which they treated as two, took on an unusual format, played over four 30-minute quarters as they used 27 players and different formations in a 2-2 draw.
Bundesliga side Bremen led through Dawid Kownacki and Keke Topp goals, but wingers Anthony Musaba and Djeidi Gassama cancelled them out in the second hour.

The sale is being handled by London-based estate agents Fleurets, who have put the two-storey, three-bedroom property on the market for £160,000.
However, locals are concerned what the sale will mean for the well-established pub.
The Chronicle understands that two recent viewers have put in offers, with plans being explored to change the property’s use to a shop.
Opened in around 1790, the pub became a base for Barnsley FC’s first players, when the club was just starting and still known as Barnsley St Peter’s FC.
Fr Blair Radford, the current vicar of St Peter’s, has been involved in supporting the pub’s continuing operations.
He told the Chronicle: “When the club started, it was the Dove Inn that they used as their changing quarters.
“They would head down the hill to the old farmer’s field where they’d play – that site’s now where the stadium is.
“Then after the match they’d come back up the hill, get changed and spend some time in the pub.
“But it’s also important now because there’s nothing around the area for community infrastructure.
