Clough plays down O'Grady fears

Nigel Clough hopes that Chris O'Grady avoided a lasting injury when coming off early on in Sheffield United's 1-0 loss to MK Dons.

The forward was withdrawn after just 23 minutes of his Blades debut following a loan switch from Brighton. "Chris was brought off as a precaution, he just felt his calf tighten up and we would have been silly to risk him at this stage," Clough told the club website. "We now have 10 clear days to get him fit for Fleetwood as he hasn't got permission to play in the FA Cup anyway, so hopefully he'll be fine."
