'Loss is insignificant compared with what Basham is going through'
- Published
Sheffield United's search for a first win of the season continues, as Fulham secured a 3-1 win over the promoted side.
But the match was overshadowed by a devastating injury to Blades captain Chris Basham, which led to the game being stopped for 13 minutes during the first half as the 35-year-old received treatment.
"You never want to see somebody have a horrendous injury like that. It's obviously sad to lose the game, but that goes into insignificance when you consider what Chris Basham will be going through, and all of the thoughts that will be going through his head," Cheltenham Town defender Curtis Davies told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"It's a real loss for them. He was part of the last group that got to the Premier League and his experience and know-how will be important for the rest of the season. Unfortunately for him, it seems that experience and know-how is going to have to be from the sidelines.
"The biggest thing Sheffield United have to take from this is that mentality that 'we're going to do it for him' and making sure they're not going to let their heads go down because of what's happened to Chris Basham."
