The 21-year-old defender, who was born in Barnsley, came off after 34 minutes of the Blades’ 1-1 draw at Crawley on Saturday.
At his Monday morning press conference to preview the home game with Peterborough United on Tuesday night, Clough revealed a concern over an area that has affected Kennedy before.

“But then he played on for 15 minutes with it, which suggests if it was that serious he wouldn’t be able to do that.
“But we’ll wait for it to settle down, get him scanned and take it from there.
“However, with him having had problems with it previously then it’s a worry.

“So we’ll sort it out best we can for him.”
