If Manchester United are feeling sorry for themselves after Caemiro was ruled out of Saturday's trip to Bramall Lane, Sheffield United have had 'a shocking week' on the injury front, according to manager Paul Heckingbottom
Captain John Egan, vice-captain Chris Basham – twice – and summer signing Tom Davies have gone under the knife during the international break. 'It was a shocking week for injuries,' said Heckingbottom when asked about Egan and Davies, who missed the 3-1 defeat at Fulham. 'They are going to be out for a long time. 'John was in the game , he was jumping for a header, Tom it was literally the last kick of the ball in training and he hurt his thigh. 'It's a nightmare.
With Egan missing, he could have expected a run in the side. 'He is going crazy inside those four walls,' said Heckingbottom. 'He has had a couple of operations that were needed, hopefully he will be getting home to his family in the next few days.' The older the player, the more people fret about a serious injury being terminal for their careers. Basham is 35. 'Everyone knows how naturally fit he is,' said Heckingbottom.
