Sheffield United’s crisis worsens. The club has had a historically poor start to the season with 2 points from 14 games. Now they have to do without Sander Berge until the end of March.
This is confirmed by club manager Chris Wilder after the club played Brighton 1-1 on Sunday.
Sander Berge only had a few minutes on the field against Manchester United on Thursday before having to sit down with an injury. It is this that is now creating problems for the Norwegian and Sheffield United. According to coach Chris Wilder, the injury will be of a special nature.
– It’s a strange wound. He went to block the ball, caught it with the tip of his toe, and ripped the tendon from his toe bone. The injury requires surgery, Wilder said, according to The Star, the local newspaper in Sheffield.
The situation arose six minutes into the game. Now he has to undergo surgery and is doubtful for Ståle Solbakken’s first matches as national coach.
Watch Sander Berge get injured here:
Three months is basically enough time to get to the start of the World Cup qualifiers against Gibraltar (March 24), Turkey (27th) and Montenegro (30th), but it’s not certain that Berge will be ready to fight afterwards. in the long run. Rest.
It also creates problems for Sheffield. After the match against Manchester United, Berge was mentioned as the best player on the team to coach Wilder. Without a single win so far this season, the next three months will not be easier without the Norwegian.
“It’s an incredible loss to lose Sander,” Wilder told The Star.
