Sheffield Wednesday will face Leeds United in the Championship this evening.
Wednesday will take on Leeds at the Hillsborough Stadium in the Championship in a few hours’ time.
Forestieri is available for the derby, with the 28-year-old – who can operate as as a strike or as an attacking midfielder – available after serving a suspension.
The former Italy Under-21 international was suspended for matches against Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Stoke City for his involvement in a brawl during a pre-season friendly against Mansfield Town.
Luhukay told The Star about Forestieri: “He is now available and has trained very well in the last weeks. He is in good shape so we hope he can help us in the games we have before the next international break.
“We speak with each other every day. He is in a positive feeling.Of course, when a player is playing, he feels very good.
“We hope that Fernando finds his best form. Let’s see what he can do for himself but also that we, as a team, profit from it.”
Unleashing Fernando Forestieri against Leeds United
While Forestieri has not been involved in competitive matches in recent weeks, the 28-year-old seems ready to be called into action.
The former Genoa man is a very good player at the Championship level, and he will be determined to put on a good show against Leeds.
Forestieri has been on the books of Wednesday since the summer of 2015 when he joined from Watford for a transfer fee reported by The Star to be worth £3m.
