Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom doesn't believe Chris Morgan's injury influenced their defeat at Fulham.

The Blades captain suffered a heavy leg injury when crossing in the first-half.

"He was not in a state to speak. He was on gas and air when he left and he is in hospital now," Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom told BBC Sport.

"Everyone could see it was a horrendous injury. He is with the right people now he is in hospital. We will touch base and see how he is.

"Our thoughts are with him. Injuries like that we never want to see, and it does affect the feeling in the football stadium when something like that happens, without a doubt.

"But I don't think it affected us. We tried to be as professional as we could and continue to fight."
