Sheffield United dealt another injury blow with McBurnie out
Last updated 15th Apr 2021
Sheffield United have been dealt another injury blow with the news that Oli McBurnie will miss the remainder of the season with a foot fracture.
The 24-year-old striker suffered the injury during the Blades' 3-0 home defeat to Arsenal last weekend.
The news comes the day after captain Billy Sharp revealed he will also not play again this season after undergoing a thigh operation.
Blades interim boss Paul Heckinbottom said at his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon: "Oli is out for the season as well.
"He's got a stress fracture in his fifth metatarsal so we've lost two forwards, which isn't positive.''
