All smiles as Sheffield Wednesday’s Fernando Forestieri poses alongside Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa

The rivalry between Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday supporters is one of the most fierce in Yorkshire parts.

A 1-1 draw at Hillsborough back in September ensured that neither club claimed bragging rights.

Battle will commence between the two once again on April 13th in what could be a mouthwatering contest.

Wednesday striker Fernando Forestieri has possibly stoked the fire ahead of that showdown, posting a series of cryptic photos on Twitter.

The Argentina-born player has posted four images of himself posing with Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa.

Naturally posting of such images on social media won’t delight those of a Wednesday persuasion and might spark speculation.

In hindsight, the images are probably harmless.

Bielsa began both his playing and managerial career at Newell’s Old Boys in Argentina.

He proved such a hit there that the club opted to name their stadium after the current Leeds boss.

Forestieri also began his career in the Newell’s Old Boys academy but was released without making a first-team appearance.

The images are perhaps as innocent as two compatriots sharing an embrace.

Given the rivalry between Wednesday and Leeds, however, it is unlikely to go down too well among supporters.

The Owls have picked up under Steve Bruce and the fixture on April 13th looks like being huge.

Following this latest Twitter post, Forestieri could certainly do with proving to Wednesday supporters where his allegiances lie.
