Sheffield Utd boss Heckingbottom upbeat on Man City midfielder Doyle return

Manchester City loanee Tommy Doyle has received mixed injury news.

Doyle is spending the season at Sheffield United as he attempts to make the next step in his professional career.

He last played for the Blades in October, featuring in a 2-0 win over West Brom.

However, he has been absent with a calf injury, missing five matches.

Speaking recently, manager Paul Heckingbottom told Yorkshire Live: "He has trained this week. It's just been fitness for me.

"I think he's fit now in terms of medically fit, he's moving really well.

“He's been good in training and because he's only had a couple of days with us we want to get him back to the levels he was at.

Then it's going to be good for those boys who have come back."
