Sheffield United: Bramall Lane breathes a sight of relief over Samir Carruthers
Instead Chris Wilder, who signed the midfielder from MK Dons last week, predicted Carruthers could only be absent for a month after revealing he has being diagnosed with a strained rather than ruptured knee ligament.
The 23-year-old limped-off only a quarter-of-an-hour into his first appearance as a United player during Saturday’s 4-2 victory over Southend and Wilder said: “We are relatively happy with the outcome, he’s strained ligaments and our medical team are managing the situation in-house. In the 14 minutes he played at Southend he gave everyone a glimpse of what he’s about and the score moved from 2-1 to 4-1 when he was on the pitch.”
