Sheffield United vs Fleetwood Town - As you were for Sheffield United

Posted Tuesday, October 20, 2015 by PA

Sheffield United boss Nigel Adkins is expected to choose from an unchanged squad for the home game against Fleetwood.

Adkins' injury woes are unlikely to ease after seven players were ruled out of Saturday's draw at Oldham.

John Brayford (knee), Bob Harris (pelvis), Craig Alcock (hip and ribs), David Edgar (hamstring), Ryan Flynn (groin) and fellow midfielder James Wallace (thigh) are all nursing injuries.

Defender Terry Kennedy (knee) could be in contention for a rare appearance after returning to the bench at the weekend.

Ashley Hunter will be pushing for a place in the Fleetwood starting line-up after his goal - the forward's second in just three appearances this season - at the weekend.

Following a first clean sheet in 10 matches against Burton, Town boss Steven Pressley will be unlikely to make changes at the opposite end of the pitch.

Victor Nirennold sat out Saturday's 4-0 success through injury and he will be assessed again while there is no timescale set for the return of fellow defender Nathan Pond, who is a long-term absentee with an ankle problem.

Should Nirennold miss out again it is hoped he will be ready in time for the trip to Barnsley.
