No strikers, 11 fit players - What a mess!

By Bladesmadeditor	Friday, 16th October 2009

It has been well documented this week about how bad Sheffield United's injury crisis is beginning to get. When Unitedites thought it couldn't get worse, lo and behold our final fully fit striker goes down with flu!

The injury draught at S2 is continuing and is frustrating all concerned with the Red and White Wizards. The Blades anticipated only having one fit striker for tomorrow's (Saturday's) lunch-time kick-off at Scunthorpe, but now they have nil, zero, zilch front-men available or fully fit! How ridiculous.

It has been confirmed by Kevin Blackwell that Darius Henderson has possibly come down with flu - it could be swine flu. He said: "The doctor is seeing him and we are hoping he hasn't picked up swine flu.

"We have ten who are out or at least doubtful and it is quite the worst injury crisis I have encountered in my time as a manager.

"I am getting calls virtually every day because something else has happened and it is getting farcical. We don't get loads of injuries normally but I have had a good run at United so I suppose I am due a few.

Blades fans knew before the campaign begun that they have got a small squad, and that squad which was available at Middlesbrough over 2 months ago has now massively decreased. Below is Sheffield United's full squad list. Players unavailable or not fully fit are bold and underlined.

Our squad:

Ryan France
Gary Naysmith
Nick Montgomery
Chris Morgan
Matt Kilgallon
Darius Henderson
Ched Evans
Kyel Reid
David Cotterill
Lee Williamson
Ian Bennett
James Harper
Andy Taylor
Richard Cresswell

Jordan Stewart
Andrew Davies
Mark Bunn
