Sheffield United captain Chris Basham has issued an update on his recovery after breaking his leg in the Blades' match against Fulham on Saturday.
The 35-year-old has undergone two operations after suffering a serious injury to the lower part of his left leg in a challenge with Tim Ream, which resulted in a 12-minute delay to the match as he received oxygen on the pitch before being stretchered off.
"Had my two surgeries done now and I can’t thank the surgeons enough for the fast response to me," Basham said on Instagram.
"The first surgery was for cleaning up the wound I suffered and dislocation, the second surgery was to repair the ligaments and to fit a plate on my bone where the fracture was.
"I’m in a cast now and it feel a lot more comfortable. Will be in London still for another few days but then be going home to recover in the right way.
"Trying to stay positive every day with great family and friends around me. Still overwhelmed by the support I have received. Thank you, Bash."
Basham is spending his 10th season with Sheff Utd after joining them from Blackpool in July 2014 and is their longest-serving player.

The Blades will aim to win their first match of the campaign without their captain next Saturday, 21 October, when they welcome Manchester United to Bramall Lane.
