Sheff Utd rocked by Beattie blow

Beattie has been prolific since his £4m summer move from Everton

Sheffield United striker James Beattie is set to miss at least the next month of the season with a knee injury.

Beattie, 29, is the top scorer in the Championship this season with 13, but he picked up the injury after scoring against Blackpool on Boxing Day.

"We haven't got the scans back yet but it looks a sore one, he will probably be out for about four to six weeks," said Blades boss Bryan Robson.

"It is a massive blow because all season James has scored goals."

Robson, meanwhile, has admitted his interest in Blackpool winger Wes Hoolahan.
