Talented Sheffield Wednesday midfielder sees injury cut his season short
Sheffield Wednesday midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, will play no part in the final few games of this season.
The talented 20-year-old has enjoyed a strong rise through the ranks at Middlewood Road, scoring plenty for the U18s and U21s as he started to make his name in the Owls academy.
And it’s not just his name that catches the eye, with some comparing him to the Manchester United star when he was scoring on a regular basis, Fernandes has shown flashes of his quality when being asked to step up at senior level.
Sadly, though, his fifth senior appearance of the campaign - against Swansea City in February - will be his last for 2025/26. The youngster has had some rotten luck on the injury front this season, needing surgery back in August, and his latest knock is one that will keep him out until preseason.
It’s not been easy for him…
A ‘tough season’ for Fernandes
“Been a tough season on a personal level,” he said today. “Having picked up my third injury this season, the last one has cut my season short. I thank God always, and will continue to keep my trust in him.
“James 1:2-3: Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, but you know that the test of your faith produces perseverance.”
Wednesday have their fair share of players on the sidelines at present, but the hope is that Fernandes and Co will be raring to go by the time their League One campaign begins in a few months’ time.
