Sheffield Wednesday's Fernando Forestieri steps up recovery from hamstring injury

The Sheffield Wednesday forward, Fernando Forestieri, has shared video footage of his recovery from a hamstring injury on Instagram.

Forestieri tore a hamstring at the start of December and is said to be facing a minimum six-week spell on the sidelines.

But three weeks on, the Argentine appears to be back up and running… albeit sideways and wearing an elasticated harness.

Forestieri missed the bulk of last season with ligament damage, but returned to score five goals in eight games between late March and early May.
