Blades without Chong for up to six weeks

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has said Tahith Chong will miss up to six weeks after injuring his knee in the warm-up against Oxford.

The midfielder signed for the Blades in the summer from Luton and has featured off the bench on three occasions.

Wilder has confirmed the extend of the Curacao international's injury.

"Unfortunately he's not great, he tore a meniscus cartilage in his knee in the warm-up so that's going to be four to six weeks, so not as bad as what it could have been," Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"But unfortunately missing a player that would have been involved at Oxford and would have been involved in the up and coming games.

"So the international break, in a way, comes at the right time. He might miss a couple of the games after the international break, but fingers crossed he won't be out for too long."
