2 Sheffield United selection dilemmas Paul Heckingbottom is facing ahead of Bristol City clash

Sheffield United will be determined to get back on track in the Championship today when they head to Ashton Gate to face Bristol City.

The Blades produced an underwhelming performance in their clash with Reading on Friday as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Paul Ince’s side.

McBurnie suffered a foot injury in the club’s defeat to Reading and Heckingbottom has admitted that the club will need to wait to see just how severe the forward’s issue is.

Iliman Ndiaye could be drafted in as a replacement for McBurnie as he has featured as a centre-forward on several occasions this season and scored against the Royals after being introduced as a substitute in this fixture.

The 18-year-old scored nine league goals for Burton Albion earlier this season before being recalled from his loan spell in January.

Will John Fleck make his return to action in this fixture?

Although John Fleck did miss the Blades’ clash with Reading due to a groin injury,
