Basham had made a run down the right wing and attempted to cross the ball under pressure from Ream, but cried out in pain when he attempted to find a team-mate despite no challenge from the Fulham defender, prompting concern from Ream that led to Basham quickly being treated by the physios.<\/p>\n
Basham was starting just his third match Premier League match of the season. The defender was brought in to replace John Egan, who picked up an injury against West Ham last time out. Manager Paul Heckingbottom was hopeful Basham would be in the team for a stretch of games due to the seriousness of Egan’s setback – but it looks like he will also be set for an extended spell on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

Don’t miss… <\/strong> “He\u2019s out and will be out for a while,\u201d Heckingbottom said of Egan. \u201cIt\u2019s another big injury for us. He\u2019s going to be seeing the specialist tomorrow and we will have more of an idea. It\u2019s a blow, I can\u2019t deny that. We want everyone fit. That\u2019s an opportunity for others.\u201d<\/p>\n The Blades were rooted to the foot of the table heading into the clash with Fulham. But Heckingbottom was optimistic that the tide would soon turn. \u201cThe mood has been good \u2013 it\u2019s been fine,\u201d added Heckinbottom.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought it was clear against West Ham with what he did well and what we need to do better. That\u2019s been the sole focus this week \u2013 attack as a team and defend as a team. Fulham away is a tough game, but we want the points. We have had to work so hard to be here and get here, but we want to stay here. We will continue to work hard.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch one of the biggest crossover fights of the year on DAZN as KSI and Logan Paul face off against the opponants in Manchester on October 14th.<\/p>\n It costs \u00a320.99 and you also get to enjoy DAZN for the rest of the month for just \u00a31 thanks to a special deal.<\/p>\n The Pay-per-view costs \u00a320.99 and you’ll be able to enjoy all the action on the night.<\/p>\n
