WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT Sheffield United have issued an update on Chris Basham as images went viral on social media following the centre-back's horror leg break against Fulham

Images of Sheffield United captain Chris Basham's horror injury have circulated on social media after he suffered a horrifying leg break against Fulham.

Basham tried to cross the ball when he suffered the sickening injury to his standing leg during the first half of his team's 3-1 defeat at Craven Cottage on Saturday. Images on social media showed the true extent of the injury, as fans of clubs across the country wished the Blades captain a speedy recovery.

The match was stopped for 13 minutes while the 35-year-old was given oxygen and then taken to hospital. Following the game, concerned manager Paul Heckingbottom said: "He's where he needs to be, with the doctors and medics in hospital. No-one wants to see that, ever, and when you're involved in it and it's one of your players it's far, far worse."

Heckingbottom added: "It's something that you never want to see. Everyone knows how popular he is, and everyone will be thinking about him."

"I've been on a pitch with a team-mate and involved when it's someone else but when it's one of your players its tough and you can see that with the players. No [diagnosis] but you guys have seen the pictures, it's terrible, it's horrific."

Fulham boss Marco Silva also sent his well-wishes, describing it as a "sad moment". He said: "Myself and we as a football club wish him all the best and fast recovery from that bad injury that he had."

Basham was stretchered off by medical personnel, giving fans a thumbs up as he was serenaded to "there's only one Chris Basham" and given a standing ovation by both sets of supporters. "We send our best wishes to Bash, and will communicate updates as and when we have them," Sheffield United said on Twitter - now known as X.

Heckingbottom added: "He was not in a state to speak. He was on gas and air when he left and he is in hospital now. 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."

Reacting online, one fan said: "That’s him done, can’t see him coming back from that at his age, unfortunate." A second shared: "I don't think I've ever seen a worse one."

"Nobody wants to see any footballer have an injury like this.. speedy recovery Chris Basham," a third said. And another added: "I just watched this injury live in person and it’s the most gruesome thing I have ever witnessed..."

Fulham were the winners on the day, claiming three points over the Blades at home. Heckingbottom's side remain rock bottom of the Premier League, with just one point to their name.
