Hulse could be back in six months: Warnock

Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock is hopeful striker Rob Hulse could be back in action within six months after the player underwent successful surgery on a double fracture of his leg.

The Blades’ leading scorer – he has eight Premiership goals this season – was injured in an accidental clash with goalkeeper Petr Cech during the 3-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
