Sheffield Wednesday’s Fernando Forestieri has shared his ’emotional’ reunion with two of his former coaches on Instagram.

Forestieri bumped into the pair, Gianfranco Zola and Luca Gotti, when Wednesday travelled to Chelsea on Sunday.

Both Zola and Gotti are employed as assistant coaches at Stamford Bridge.

Forestieri was signed by the former at Watford six-and-a-half-years ago, and played under the latter for Italy’s Under-17 side.

Now 29, Forestieri returned as a substitute in Sheffield Wednesday’s 3-0 defeat against the Blues, having spent the previous eight weeks sidelined with a hamstring problem.

He told the Star this week that he is ‘happy to stay in Sheffield’ amid fresh speculation about his future at Hillsborough.
