Sheffield United v Scunthorpe United: Morgan deals Blades new injury blow

Championship: SHEFFIELD United captain Chris Morgan could be ruled out for the rest of the season after tearing a calf muscle.

Morgan was due to make his return from a two-game ban in the midweek draw with Cardiff City but suffered the injury in training.

The Blades, who have been hindered by injuries all season, host struggling Scunthorpe United tomorrow needing to keep pressure on the top six.

Manager Kevin Blackwell said: "We still have a great opportunity to get in the play-offs. We are unbeaten in four games and we want to keep that run going."

Goalkeeper Steve Simonsen hopes his loan move from Stoke City will reignite his career after falling down the pecking order at the Britannia Stadium.

Simonsen was signed after Mark Bunn's recall by Blackburn and his stay helps bridge a gap before Paddy Kenny's return from suspension next month.
