Sheffield United striker Ched Evans looks set to miss the remainder of the season after breaking his collarbone.

The Wales international picked up the potential season-ending injury after a colliding with goalkeeper Joe Lewis during Tuesday's 1-0 defeat at Peterborough United.

"Ched looks as if he's done his collarbone and if that's the case then we won't be seeing him again until after the summer. It's a massive blow," revealed manager Kevin Blackwell.

During the same match Jamie Ward and Lee Williamson both picked up hamstring problems and a rueful Blackwell continued: "Jamie and Lee have both tweaked their hamstrings so they're huge doubts while Toni (Kallio) couldn't play because of a calf strain.

"We've had a massive fitness crisis before and now we've got one again because people like Gary Naysmith and Derek Geary are also out.

"It couldn't have come at a worse time and now my biggest concern is being able to get a team out (to face QPR on Saturday)."
