Pleas for return of Lee Gregory's mask answered after Sheffield Wednesday Play Off comeback

Pleas for the return of Sheffield Wednesday striker Lee Gregory's eye mask have been answered after it was lost following their historic play off semi final comeback.

Sheffield Wednesday put a plea out on social media to return the mask, after the striker lost it in the aftermath of their stunning comeback win on Thursday against Peterborough United.

But one fan has replied to the appeal saying his father picked it up and took it home. He's offered to return it before Monday.

Gregory has to wear the mask for several weeks after suffering a broken cheekbone during training earlier in the season. The club said the protective cover was custom built and due to a short turnaround, it could not be replaced in time for the final at Wembley next week.
