Sheffield United fans will breathe a little easier today after the news of John Egan’s injury was released.
Egan had to withdraw this weekend against Everton after suffering a double blow to the ankle and knee.
The Blades captain has left Ireland on international duty. However, after passing the tests, it seems that Egan is fine.
John Egan’s latest injury as Sheffield United captain trains with Ireland
According to The Irish Sun today, Egan is back from the scan and seems to be fine. It is reported that Egan attended training before the important game against France and can now even start for Stephen Kenny’s team.
Egan was chosen to captain Ireland as they looked forward to a great result against the World Cup finalists.
The Sheffield United defender has come under some criticism in recent weeks. However, he remains an important player for Ireland and United and any kind of injury would be a heavy loss.
Watch from Sheffield United News:
Egan’s physical improvement is huge
It seems that John Egan was the man of the moment becoming a scapegoat for some in Bramall Lane. Why he was picked so much was confusing enough, but there was not much Egan could do but keep plowing.
Controversial comments aside, it is certain that if Egan is injured, United will be in trouble. We are seriously lacking depth in central defence and Egan’s injury will be a disaster.
With a bit of luck, he went through the internationals without any repeats and was able to return to S2 ready to play again.
Despite a slight drop in form, John Egan remains a key player for Sheffield United.
