Basham 'trying to stay positive' after two surgeries

Chris Basham said he is "trying to stay positive" after confirming he has undergone two operations.

The Blades captain suffered a severe lower-leg injury against Fulham on Saturday as he attempted to make a cross.

He posted on Instagram: "Had my two surgeries done now and I can’t thank the surgeons enough for the fast response to me.

"The first surgery was for cleaning up the wound I suffered and dislocation, the second surgery was to repair the ligaments and to fit a plate on my bone where the fracture was.

"I’m in a cast now and it feel a lot more comfortable. Will be in London still for another few days but then be going home to recover in the right way.

"Trying to stay positive every day with great family and friends around me. Still overwhelmed by the support I have received. Thank you, Bash."
