Sheffield Wednesday’s centre-back has had successful surgery. SWFC will be without him for the rest of the season which is a blow.
Bernard, 24, went off in the Owls’ clash away at West Brom last weekend. He has made 31 appearances in all competitions so far this season, 27 of which have come in the Championship, and he has scored three goals from the back.
He has posted on X: “Tough one to take but this too shall pass! Surgery was a success and I would like to thank the surgeons, doctors and nurses. I appreciate all the kind messages from you guys. BigDish will be back soon!!”
Danny Rohl’s side are sat in 8th place in the table and are only two points off the play-offs after their win at Swansea City on Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday’s Di’Shon Bernard injury
Bernard’s absence isn’t ideal for Sheffield Wednesday and they will have to make do without him as they look to get into the top six.
He is an important player for the Owls and his influence in the heart of the backline will be missed.
The Jamaica international moved to Hillsborough in 2023 following Sheffield Wednesday’s promotion from League One and he helped them stay up last term.
The Jamaica international, who has 19 caps under his belt, started his career at Chelsea before linking up with fellow Premier League side Manchester United.
He then represented the Red Devils at various different youth levels before playing once for their first-team.
Bernard was loaned out away from Old Trafford at Salford City, Hull City and Portsmouth to get some experience under his belt.
He then left United permanently before he was snapped up by Sheffield Wednesday and he hasn’t looked back since.
Following his injury, Rohl has said, “It is his first operation and you never know what it means. From my experience the first one is always a little bit strange, you have it for the first one, the drugs and all these feelings. When you have more surgeries you get used to it but the first one is always nervous. Let’s see how it works and what they find. We will support him and we will find a solution.”
What now for Sheffield Wednesday?
The Owls should be in confident mood after their win at Swansea City. Michael Smith scored their winner in Wales.
