Sheffield United hope to have David McGoldrick back after international break after cause of injury is revealed

Slavisa Jokanović, the United manager, confirmed that McGoldrick was unable to travel with the Blades to Kenilworth Road after suffering the back injury in the build-up to the game.

The 33-year-old, who was United’s top scorer last season as they were relegated from the Premier League, featured in all four of United’s previous league games before the trip to Luton and will hope to recover in time to face Peterborough United at Bramall Lane next weekend.
