Impact Jesus returned to the team sheet last week but went unused following a four-match absence due to a knee issue. However, now he appears to be set to play and earn the start against Sheffield. The biggest question around the player at the moment is how long he will last, as he is not expected to play the full 90 but should still be a part of the game for a decent amount of time. The club will just want to avoid any injuries and preserve their player for the rest of the season as they stay tight-knit in the title race, with the forward missing a total of nine matches this season due to a plethora of injuries.
