Sheffield Wednesday fans have responded positively to Fernando Forestieri’s message on social networking site Twitter.

Forestieri, who can operate as a striker or as an attacking midfielder, has not featured since August due to a knee injury.

The 28-year-old former Italy Under-21 international has started training, and Wednesday fans are pleased.

The Owls supporters have responded positively to the tweet from Forestieri, who joined Wednesday from Watford in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee reported by The Huddersfield Daily Examiner to be worth £3 million.

Forestieri is one of the best players on the books of Wednesday at the moment, and the Owls have missed the attacker.

The 28-year-old is unlikely to make a huge impact for the Owls if he does return to first-team action this season, but there is no doubt that he will be a big player for Wednesday during the 2018-19 campaign.

Wednesday are 17th in the Championship table at the moment with 37 points from 34 matches.
