Winnall is due back at Sheffield Wednesday at the end of his Derby County loan spell.
Derby County striker Sam Winnall appears to be burning his bridges with Sheffield Wednesday supporters.
Winnall is on loan from Wednesday until the end of this season, the remainder of which he will miss due to a cruciate ligament injury.
His departure from Hillsborough last August – in exchange for Jacob Butterfield – was not well received by the majority of Owls fans, with whom he had become popular in the wake of his January 2017 transfer from Barnsley.
At various points throughout the campaign they have called for his return, but his apparent disregard for anything to do with Sheffield Wednesday meanwhile has gradually worn thin.
And after hinting via BBC Radio Derby on Friday that he hopes to stay with the Rams next season, many of the Hillsborough faithful are not best pleased.
Here’s what they’re saying on Twitter…
Winnall’s cause could be aided by Wednesday’s financial situation, which is likely to require sales being sanctioned this summer.
However, much will perhaps depend on how quickly the former Barnsley striker can recover from his injury, which could eat into next season.
