George Brown has made nine appearances in all competitions for the Owls this season.

Sheffield Wednesday striker George Brown has suffered a setback during his rehabilitation from a hamstring injury and is now set for an extended spell on the sidelines.

Manager Henrik Pedersen confirmed Brown will miss the remainder of the season and will undergo further tests to determine an exact prognosis.

The 20-year-old has played seven league games for Wednesday this season, scoring twice, including in the Owls sole league win of the season at Portsmouth.

Brown moved up from Wednesday's under-21s earlier in the season before suffering an injury in December.

Last week he played 45 minutes in the under-21s 2-0 win at Wigan Athletic as he sought to make his way back to the first team, but now he will not feature until next season.
