Paul Heckingbottom delivers mixed injury news as Sheffield Utd prepare for Blackburn Rovers

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom has been speaking to the press ahead of the Blades’ clash with Blackburn Rovers and has given an update on several of his players’ fitness levels.

The Blades are going along very nicely and have picked up a great deal ever since Heckingbottom’s return as manager after he took over from Slavisa Jokanovic.

Indeed, a 4-0 win over Swansea at the weekend will only boost promotion hopes further and if they can beat Blackburn in the latest midweek round of fixtures then confidence will be increased even more.

They are going to have to get a result without a number of players, though, with Heckingbottom delivering this fitness update to the press and via the club’s official Twitter account:
