Rhian Brewster injury update as striker reveals his big Sheffield United aim

Rhian Brewster is hoping he can return in even better form than the one he was in at the time of his injury. The striker was ruled out for the season after injuring his hamstring in the 2-0 win at Peterborough in January, but is now starting to step up his recovery.

He was looking sharp and clinical before being struck down with a season-ending injury. However, he is working hard to come back stronger than ever and says he hopes to pick up where he left off when he does eventually return to action.

"I'm back walking," he told the club's official social media channels. "I'm back stepping it up in the gym.
