Callum Paterson is stretchered off the field and Florian Kamberi is on in his place.

We wish the Scot all the best and hope it isn't a serious injury.

Sheffield Wednesday forward Callum Paterson is still getting treatment on the pitch.

The stretcher is out for him and the medical staff are just taking their time before putting him on to it I think.

That's a nasty one.

A corner is swung in for Charlton striker Jayden Stockley to attack and he accidentally clatters into Owls forward Callum Paterson.

The Scot is down and getting some treatment.

No chances so far but it's the visitors who have seen more of the ball in the opening minutes.

Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Dennis Adeniran takes a bump to the head in midfield.

Owls skipper Barry Bannan sends the ensuing free-kick in the direction of centre-back Dominic Iorfa but he fouls Jayden Stockley.

We're off and running at The Valley.

Charlton haven't had the best of time over the past few years either.

However, Nigel Adkins, who had a season in charge of Sheffield Wednesday's cross-city rivals Sheffield United, has done well since taking over from Lee Bowyer in March and almost led them into the play-offs last season.

They've made striker Jayden Stockley's loan from Preston a permanent deal and also give a debut to former Wednesday man Sean Clare today.

Five minutes until kick-off at The Valley.

Sheffield Wednesday endured a torrid 2020-21 as they were relegated from the Championship.

The Owls started the season with a 12-point deduction, later reduced to six, and Garry Monk and Tony Pulis were both sacked before the turn of the year as chaos reigned behind the scenes at Hillsborough.

Darren Moore came in from Doncaster but he was unable to stop them from sliding back into League One after nine seasons in the second tier.

They've made 12 summer signings in a bid to make their stay at this level a brief one.

Burnley loanee Bailey Peacock-Farrell starts in goal and fellow new arrivals Jack Hunt, Dennis Adeniran and Lewis Wing are also in from the start.

Two games left today...

Sheffield United host Birmingham City in the late kick off (20:00 BST on a Saturday?!) but first it's the other team from the Steel City under the spotlight.

Sheffield Wednesday visit Charlton in League One in a game between two teams who will be hoping to be challenging at the top end of the division this season.

I can't describe how good it feels for the EFL to be back.

It was as crazy and dramatic as I remember. And hearing those crowds roar makes it all the better.

Anyway, let me hand you over to Ian Woodcock now for full coverage of Sheffield Wednesday's trip to Charlton in League One.

• There was heartbreak for newly promoted Sutton United who were denied a first EFL point thanks to a stoppage-time Forest Green winner.
• Harrogate threw away a two-goal lead only to wrestle back three points against Rochdale with their own late winner.
• Premier League referee Mike Dean was watching from the stands in Tranmere's match with Walsall, only to be drafted in as a late fourth official. Tranmere won the game 1-0 despite being reduced to 10 men.
• There were also wins for Stevenage, Swindon, Newport, Hartlepool, Northampton and Mansfield.

It's all over at the Stadium of Light, where Ross Stewart's second-half goal has seen Sunderland win 2-1 against a Wigan side many are backing to do well this season.

Gwion Edwards had given the Latics the lead but Aiden McGeady levelled from the spot and the hosts were able to turn the game around.

Matt Lowe: Decent point that Reds. Be nice to have a stronger bench ASAP though #BarnsleyFC

Spencer Davies: 49 more points to go #BarnsleyFC

• Alex Baptiste scored a 95th-minute equaliser for Bolton in their 3-3 draw with MK Dons.
• There was also a late equaliser for Ipswich as Macauley Bonne made it 2-2 against Morecambe.
• We're very nearly finished in the delayed kick-off at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland have come from behind to lead Wigan 2-1 thanks to a Ross Stewart goal early in the second half.
• Elsewhere there were wins for Wimbledon over Doncaster, Portsmouth at Fleetwood, Rotherham against Plymouth and Burton at Shrewsbury.

• Newly promoted Hull come from behind to win 4-1 at Preston
• Fellow new-boys Peterborough lose 3-0 at Luton while Shayne Lavery scores stoppage-time equaliser for Blackpool at Bristol City
• Wayne Rooney's threadbare Derby draw with Huddersfield
• Debut Sam Surridge strike sees Stoke win 3-2 against Reading
• Blackburn beat Swansea, Cardiff-Barnsley and QPR-Millwall end 1-1

Emil Riis Jakobsen gave Preston an early lead but it all went downhill from there.

Goals from Keane Lewis-Potter, Richie Smallwood, Josh Magennis and Andy Cannon have given Hull a comprehensive victory on their return to the second tier.

The Tigers are top of the league!

Russell Martin's first game in charge of Swansea ends in defeat at Blackburn.

"I bet you he’s giving it to the fans now!

"I’ve got the utmost respect for Kevin Ellison, he’s still in great condition and still scoring goals."

The 42-year-old who almost retired in the summer looks to have scored a late winner!

Shayne Lavery's injury-time equaliser gives Blackpool a point at Bristol City on the opening day.
