Sheffield United top scorer Oli McBurnie has been sidelined with a groin injury in a fresh blow for the Premier League's bottom club who could be relegated on Saturday.

McBurnie, who has scored six goals in the league this season, will miss United's remaining four matches, manager Chris Wilder told reporters on Friday.

"It's a massive blow for us, but it goes alongside a lot of the situations we've had all season," Wilder said. "It doesn't require surgery, but obviously that's a big one to miss from a leadership and experience point of view."

James McAtee, on loan from Manchester City, is also a doubt with a calf injury after making 29 league appearances for United this season.
