ROCK-BOTTOM Sheffield Wednesday have suffered another blow with the club confirming that Chilean international Juan Delgado has returned to Hillsborough for treatment.
Chilean officials announced on Tuesday that Delgado, 30, who joined the Owls in the summer, has gone under the knife after sustaining a hip injury. Chile host Peru on Friday and then visit Venezuela next Tuesday but Delgado is to head back to the UK to start his rehabilitation work.Delgado joined Wednesday from Portuguese side Paços de Ferreira in late July.
Delgado, who can operate a right-back alongside on the right flank, had been a regular under the Spaniard, who was sacked last week following the Owls' awful start to the campaign. He has made 14 appearances for the club.
