Sheffield United have reportedly suffered a ‘shattering’ injury blow ahead of tomorrow’s encounter against Arsenal.
The Gunners head to Bramall Lane having won their last six league games and with fire in their belly to maintain this incredible run of form against the Premier League cellar dwellers.
Sheffield United have won just three games all season with Chris Wilder’s side sat on 13 points and looking like a sure-bet to return to the Championship having only won promotion last season.
Sheffield United suffer Rhian Brewster injury blow ahead of Arsenal tie
And according to journalist Alan Nixon, the Blades will now be without Rhian Brewster for tomorrow’s clash against Arsenal, with the attacker picking up yet another injury.
Described as a ‘shattering’ blow, Sheffield United’s loss could be Arsenal’s gain with the Gunners already the overwhelming favourites for this tie tomorrow night.
Indeed, Brewster could have been a key player the Yorkshire side in their quest to get a shock result against Arsenal as well as to build momentum in climbing out of the Premier League relegation zone.
However, the injury gods have once again cast their cruel spell on Brewster, and Sheffield United could now be in for a long night against Arsenal at Bramall Lane.
Arsenal will want to put on another statement win
Arsenal’s form in the Premier League since the mid-season break has been nothing short of incredible, with the Gunners showing that they’re firmly in the title race heading into the final months of the campaign.
And games like Sheffield United tomorrow night are were Arsenal’s credentials will be checked, with Bramall Lane a stadium the north London side have faltered at in recent years.
Whilst Brewster’s injury is an unfortunate boost for Arsenal, the Gunners know they can’t take the Blades for granted, and Mikel Arteta will want another top performance from the squad.
