Speed to investigate reasons for Sheffield United injuries
Andy Reid, on loan from Sunderland, was hoping to make his home debut for the Blades in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Ipswich, but sustained a hamstring problem during his preparation and was forced to withdraw from the squad.
Speed said: "It's only a slight problem. Andy hasn't torn his hamstring. But while it certainly is bad luck, we've also been suffering far too many hamstring injuries for my liking of late and that's something we've got to examine.

"Hopefully Andy will be back soon. We'll just have to wait and see."
