The verdict

This is excellent news for Sheffield Wednesday and it suggests that Windass is going to be on time with his potential return to action for the Owls.

That is something that Moore’s side could majorly benefit from and he would be the missing piece for them in terms of their quest to get themselves up and amongst the League One promotion contenders.

Windass is a player that is too good for the third tier of English football and he is a real weapen for the Owls to be able to call upon.

It did seem at one point that the attacker might be taken from the Sheffield Wednesday this summer by a Championship club, but he has since quashed any suggestions of that by signing a new deal.

Moore will be hoping that he can get Windass back to full fitness as soon as possible, but it is imperative that the Owls do not rush him back too quickly because keeping him fit for as long as possible is going to be crucial for their promotion hopes.

You often see players having complications after surgery that keep them out for longer than anticipated, but that does not appear to be the case happily for the Owls with Windass going off this latest update from him.
