Hide AdJohnson, who signed for the Owls from Bradford City in 2007, became something of a Wednesday icon over seven years at Hillsborough.
A direct, pacey winger who could also deputise up front, he scored 25 league goals in 231 appearances before heading back to Jamaica in 2014.
Earlier today Sheffield Wednesday’s official social media accounts sent messages wishing their former player a speedy recovery.
A 71-cap international, Johnson remains a popular figure at S6. Upon leaving Wednesday for Indy Eleven in 2014, he said: “Just want to say a big thanks to the fans for the undying love and support I've been shown for the past seven years.
