Sheffield Wednesday duo Fernando Forestieri and Marco Matias could see more game time over the remainder of the season.

Jos Luhukay has confirmed that both Fernando Forestieri and Marco Matias have impressed him in Sheffield Wednesday training recently.

Forestieri is only just making his way back from injury, while Matias is trying to force his way back into the Owls team.

And the pair have done their chances of starting for Wednesday in the coming weeks no harm, with their recent showings in training.

Forestieri has been out for almost the entirety of the campaign with a knee injury, but he has come on as a substitute in Wednsday’s last three matches.

Matias, meanwhile, has regularly been overlooked – with the Portuguese winger seemingly out of favour.

Matias did come off the bench in Wednesday’s last match, which finished as a 1-0 defeat to Fulham though.

With the pressure off the Owls now, and their safety confirmed, Luhukay could see the coming weeks as a good chance to bring both Forestieri and Matias into his side’s starting line-up.

Wednesday are next in action tomorrow, when they take on Queens Park Rangers.
