Sheffield United star ruled out for remainder of the season with foot injury

Sheffield United have been dealt another injury blow this week, with manager Paul Heckingbottom confirming Oli McBurnie will miss the rest of the season.

The Blades have had an injury-hit season so far, something which is no doubt a contributing factor in their potential relegation.

Paul Heckingbottom’s side are currently bottom of the Premier League and 19 points from safety with just seven games remaining in the campaign.

Eight first-team players missed the game with Leeds at the beginning of the month, emphasising the problems the club has had this season.

Now, ahead of their clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, Heckingbottom has confirmed that McBurnie will miss the remainder of the campaign with a metatarsal injury.
