Sheffield United striker Dave Kitson faces up to three weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

The 32-year-old suffered the problem in training on Sunday and missed Monday night's 1-0 win over his former club Portsmouth. Blades boss Danny Wilson confirmed it is a grade one tear of the muscle and that Kitson will be unavailable for several weeks. "He did is hamstring right at the death of the training session, which is a real blow," Wilson said. "We think it will be two to three weeks. "This is when you hope that your squad steps up to the plate, but I hope there aren't too many more injuries around the corner."
