What’s the word, then?
Well, the attacker was taken off in the 58th minute of the 4-2 win against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday with what was confirmed to be a groin issue, but The Sheffield Star says the issue is not as serious as it was thought it could be at the time.
The 31-year-old had netted his fifth goal in his previous six Championship appearances at Hillsborough at the weekend before having to leave the field of play, with Steve Bruce’s men lying just two points outside of the play-off positions as things stand following an unlikely run of form.
The striker now has 10 league goals for the season, and may well have a key role to play in the coming months for the Yorkshire outfit.
Good news?
Of course it is.

If the injury isn’t as bad as first feared, you would think that Fletcher may well be available for the trip to Stoke City next, which isn’t until March 30 owing to the international break.
The former Sunderland man has time to recover and regain his fitness during the next fortnight, and Bruce will certainly be breathing a sigh of relief if his in-form man steps out on to the turf at the Britannia Stadium – the Owls need him right now as their momentum continues to grow.
