SHEFFIELD United are set to be boosted by the return to fitness of two key players ahead of tomorrow’s showdown with Cherries at Bramall Lane (3pm).

Striker Oli McBurnie and centre-back Anel Ahmedhodzic have been described as being in contention by Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom.

He said: “They’ve been big players for us. They are available to start.”

Scotland international McBurnie has never scored against Cherries, in five previous appearances.

Vini Souza and Jayden Bogle have also been deemed fit to feature, having picked up knocks prior to the international break.

Manchester City loanee James McAtee is also training with no issues, having suffered cramps in recent matches.

Sheffield United sit in the Premier League relegation zone, two places below Cherries, with just five points from their 12 matches so far.
