With not long left of the current campaign, the former Scunthorpe front man may miss the remainder of the season with a groin injury.

The 23 year old netted United's only goal in last week's FA Cup tie at Hull. And despite looking promising in his stint at the KC Stadium, unfortunately for him his season has come to a premature end.

Although if the Blades do reach the play-offs, he should be fit enough to participate.
