Kenny out for three weeks

Sheffield United's Paddy Kenny is expected to be sidelined for up to three weeks.

Paddy Kenny is expected to be sidelined for up to three weeks after a scan confirmed the Sheffield United goalkeeper had no serious injury to his groin.

Kenny was injured in the Blades' 1-0 defeat of Arsenal, at Bramall Lane, when taking a goal-kick, which led to midfielder Phil Jagielka taking the gloves.

Manager Neil Warnock was delighted with the news confirming there was no serious damage to Kenny.

He said: "Paddy has had his scan and there's good news.

"There's no tear, it's a strain, and he's going to be out for two to three weeks."

Warnock is still on the look-out for another keeper as replacement Ian Bennett is still out with a broken finger.

Paul Gerrard will continue in Kenny's absence, with Phil Jagielka on standby should he be needed.
