Forestieri last appeared for Sheffield Wednesday back in August.

Injured Sheffield Wednesday forward Fernando Forestieri has posted footage of himself playing football tennis on Instagram.

Forestieri, who last appeared for Wednesday back in August, is recovering from knee surgery outside of the UK.

Earlier this month, Owls boss Jos Luhukay revealed the Argentina born player is due back in Sheffield at the end of February – a month later than was previously claimed by his predecessor Carlos Carvalhal.

Forestieri had been publishing regular updates on social media, although, worryingly, these have become less frequent over the past two months.

The 28-year-old’s last football-related post came on January 13th, but his latest should reassure those Wednesday supporters concerned they would not get to see him in action again this season.

“Crying at church,” he wrote alongside the minute-long video.

Forestieri, who moved to Sheffield Wednesday in a £3 million deal from Watford two-and-a-half years ago, has finished as top scorer in each of his two full seasons at Hillsborough.

Will Forestieri make a comeback this season?
