Sheffield Wednesday defender Vincent Sasso is likely to have mixed feelings about FIFA 17.

While Frenchman may have been handed a healthy rating of 72 on EA Sports’ newest release, he appears to be the only Owls player without a face.

And, just hours after the popular video game hit the shelves, Sasso tweeted its developers to ensure they were fully aware of their oversight.

He wrote:

In fairness to EA Sports, Sasso did arrive late in the transfer window from SC Braga and has only played 30 minutes of football for Wednesday this term.

Admittedly, though, he does have a pretty face.

Sasso could make his second appearance of the campaign when the Owls host Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, with Sam Hutchinson suffering a back injury in Tuesday’s win at Blackburn Rovers.

It is unclear how long Hutchinson, who has a history of fitness issues, will be out for, if at all.

However, the Chelsea product’s place is likely to go to captain Glenn Loovens should he fail to recover in time.

Wednesday could climb into the top six for the first time this season with a win.
