Further injury blow for Sheffield United as key man suffers fractured leg, misses Luton Town test

Fleck, the Scottish international, was a notable absentee form the Blades’ XI to face the Hatters at Kenilworth Road, after being ruled out when the extent of his leg injury was revealed.

United have not yet confirmed the seriousness of the issue, with Paul Heckingbottom set to expand after the Sky-televised game.

But it is an undoubted blow for the Blades, who are already dealing with a number of injury issues despite their good start to the new Championship season.
