Sheffield United Receive Injury Boost Before Lincoln Match

Sheffield United will host Lincoln City on Saturday as the Championship resumes, with Chris Wilder preparing his squad after four injured players made progress and the team seeks a response following two defeats before the break.

According to uk.sports.yahoo.com, Femi Seriki, Harrison Burrows, Sam McCallum and Ryan One have improved from their respective injuries. Wilder expects at least three of the four players to be available.

The report said the returning players are unlikely to start against Lincoln City and would be considered for involvement from the bench if selected. Seriki may need more time because he was initially expected to be sidelined longer.

Jordan Ayew withdrew from Ghana duty because of an injury, but uk.sports.yahoo.com reported there were no further pre-match injury concerns for Sheffield United before the fixture.

Wilder has recently used a three-man defensive setup, and the predicted lineup from uk.sports.yahoo.com places Michael Cooper behind Japhet Tanganga, Liam Kitching and Mark McGuinness.

The expected team also includes Rhys Norrington-Davies on the left side, with Hamza Choudhury, Kalvin Phillips and Sydie Peck forming the midfield structure, according to the report.

In attacking areas, uk.sports.yahoo.com predicted Romelle Donovan could return to the lineup, while Ben Brereton Diaz is expected to continue searching for form and Patrick Bamford leads the forward line.

Lincoln City arrive at Bramall Lane in 12th place after promotion from League One, with defensive strength highlighted by uk.sports.yahoo.com. The club has conceded eight goals, a total bettered only by Swansea City and QPR.
