Wednesday: Warrant for Forestieri no longer needed

Italian was due in court on Friday.

Sheffield Wednesday say the arrest warrant issued for striker Fernando Forestieri on Friday will now not be pursued.

The 28-year-old was due to appear at Mansfield Magistrates' Court on Friday morning but he failed to attend.

In a statement released on Saturday afternoon, the Owls said that "neither the club, Forestieri nor his legal team were aware of this court date" and a "new court date is to be arranged".

Court staff told the Press Association that Forestieri faces one charge of using threatening words or behaviour and another of racially aggravated harassment on July 24.

The offences are understood to have occurred during a post-match brawl which took place at the end of a pre-season friendly between Wednesday and Mansfield at the One Call Stadium.

Forestieri was banned by the Football Association in September for three matches and fined £25,000 after admitting to a misconduct charge for his part in the brawl.

Mansfield's Jacob Mellis also admitted to an FA misconduct charge and was banned for three games and fined £1,500.

Wednesday and Mansfield were fined £20,000 and £3,000 respectively after both clubs admitted an FA misconduct charge of failing to control their players.

Forestieri was signed by Wednesday from Watford for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2015 and has scored 35 goals in almost 100 appearances for the club in all competitions.

The former Italy Under-21 international has not played for Sheffield Wednesday since December 1, and was not included in the squad to face West Brom on Saturday.
