Sheffield Wednesday winger Etienne Esajas made his return to action for the reserve team on Wednesday against Lincoln City at Sincil Bank.
The Dutch winger has been out of action for around 3 months, making slow progress after picking up a broken toe but it now seems that he is on the road to making a first team return before the end of the season.
Esajas played the first 45 minutes of the game at Lincoln as planned and provided the assist for the Owls goal in the 1-1 draw.
Prior to the injury the tricky wide man had a good first half of the season, scoring 5 goals in 16 starts in league and cup matches.
The Wednesday goal was scored by youngster Ashley Worsfold and the Owls also included Frank Simek, Mark Beevers, Luke Boden and forgotten man Peter Gilbert in their starting 11.
