Following the injury, Souttar returned to his parent club, Leicester City, for further assessment and treatment. Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder expressed his disappointment, stating, "He's been outstanding and is a great personality to work with, a great character. I'm devastated for him. He loved it here and he's absolutely gutted." (Source: News.com)
The rehabilitation process for a ruptured Achilles tendon typically spans between nine to twelve months. Consequently, Souttar is expected to be sidelined until late 2025.
🗣️ “I am super proud of the team. We are so stretched it’s unbelievable.”
