Rhys Norrington-Davies - Won't return this season Norrington-Davies will miss the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign due to his hamstring problem. Manager Chris Wider told reporters, "I don't like the decisions I have to make when...

Impact Norrington-Davies is out of contract this summer, leading to speculation regarding his future with the club. A previous hamstring problem cost the defender the opening 18 matches of the season and will now bring his campaign to an early end. When fit, Norrington-Davies played in just five matches in which he registered two crosses (zero accurate), two clearances and one chance created in 111 combined minutes.

Max Lowe - Season officially over Lowe will undergo ankle surgery that will end his 2023/24 campaign, Danny Hall of The Star reports Monday.

Impact Lowe was limited to a meager eight matches this season, including three starts, in which he generated one assist, two shots (zero on target) and six crosses (one accurate). With his contract up this summer, this may be the last time Lowe gets onto the pitch for the Blades.

Cameron Archer - Misses out with calf problem Archer was unable to make the squad against Brighton on Sunday with a calf injury, per Danny Hall of The Star.

Impact Archer had made just one start in his previous five outings, logging a combined 155 minutes in which he recorded one goal on four shots (one on target), one cross (accurate) and two clearances. With Ben Brereton Diaz (hamstring) also unavailable, the Blades turned to Yasser Larouci in an attacking role.

Mason Holgate - Shown straight red card Holgate was sent off in the first half of Sunday's match against Everton.

Impact Holgate was shown a straight red card following a VAR review for serious foul play. The defender will miss Sheffield United's next three matches through suspension.

Oliver McBurnie - Available to face Brighton McBurnie (calf) is available from the bench for Sunday's match against Brighton.

Impact McBurnie has missed the past two matches through injury. The forward has scored two goals and provided an assist across his last three Premier League appearances, but Will Osula leads the line for the Blades on Sunday.

Rhys Norrington-Davies - Set for second opinion Norrington-Davies (hamstring) is in place to get another opinion on his current injury, as manager Chris Wilder confirmed to reporters Friday, "We're waiting on another opinion reg...

Impact Norrington-Davies was already announced to be out for around a month earlier this week, but things seem to be trending in the wrong direction for the defender, as he is now getting a second opinion on his current hamstring issues. This could mean he is possibly lining up for surgery, which would most likely leave the 25-year-old out for most of the remaining season, and that is if he returns at all. The club and the player will hope for the best as if this does all come to fruition, they will lose one of their regular starters after only playing five times all season, and the player will most likely miss Wales' run in Euro 2024 if they end up making it.

Ivo Grbic - Cleared to play Grbic (concussion) has been cleared to play ahead of Sunday's contest against Brighton, Danny Hall of The Star announced Friday.

Impact Grbic had missed the club's two most recent matches after taking a blow to the head against Crystal Palace on Jan. 30, but he has now been cleared to return this week. The club will now have a question on their hands, as they chose Grbic over normal starter Wes Foderingham for one match before going down with the concussion and will now have to choose between the two again. It is totally up in the air right now on who will be picked, and most will not know until game time, but as of now, Foderingham should be expected to get the start again despite Grbic's resurgence in health.

Oliver McBurnie - In question for Brighton match McBurnie (calf) is facing a late fitness test going into Sunday's contest against Brighton, as manager Chris Wilder told reporters, "We've had a couple of setbacks recently, the li...

Impact McBurnie has been absent for the club's past two matches due to his calf issues but now eyes a return Sunday. If he is chosen for the team sheet, he will most likely end up on the bench and won't be rushed into play with an injury that can easily be aggravated again, especially after facing a late fitness test. However, he will look to start in their next match if healthy, as in between all of his injury concerns this season, he has still been a regular starter when available, starting in nine of the 13 matches he was eligible to play in.

Ben Brereton - Questionable for Sunday Brenton Diaz (hamstring) is in question for Sunday's contest against Brighton, as manager Chris Wilder stated, "We've had a couple of setbacks recently, the likes of McBurnie and B...

Impact Brenton Diaz may be looking at another match from the sidelines following his absence last weekend due to his hamstring issues. There have been no recent updates on the player training or working with the team, but based on the manager's quotes, he still has a chance at making the team sheet. If this is the case, he will most likely be left on the bench after holding the questionable tag going into the match, looking to return to the starting XI next contest after getting the start in his last three appearances. Ben Osborn will then most likely get the start at left midfielder once again.

Rhys Norrington-Davies - Expected to miss around a month Norrington-Davies (undisclosed) isn't expected to return until late March with his most recent injury, Phil Cadden of The Sun reported.

Impact Norrington-Davies is heading for another spell on the sidelines once again, as just after returning five contests ago from a hamstring injury that forced him to miss the first half of the season, he is once again injured after going down against Luton Town on Saturday. This is a brutal blow for the defender, as he had just started his first matches of the campaign in the club's past two games and is now in jeopardy of missing Wales Euro 2024 play-off match on March 21. However, he will hope for a speedy recovery and to return sooner than expected, looking to avoid another extended spell on the sidelines and secure a decent role among the Blades' starting XI.

Wes Foderingham - Makes four saves in win Foderingham made four saves and conceded a penalty goal during Saturday's 3-1 win over Luton Town.

Impact Foderingham was beaten from the penalty spot in the 52nd minute but other than that he was flawless between the posts to help the Blades preserve their lead. The first EPL goalkeeper with triple-digit saves this season, with 101 over 24 starts, Foderingham will try to keep it up during Feb. 18 home clash versus Brighton.

Ben Osborn - Logs assist versus Luton Town Osborn delivered an assist and made three tackles (one won) during Saturday's 3-1 win over Luton Town.

Impact Osborn made his first start since August and, after a quiet first half, he made a huge contribution during the final frame, assisting Vinicius for the goal that sealed the 3-1 win in the 73rd minute. This was the first appearance on the scoresheet of the season for the attacker and he'll hope this helps him to get more regular first team minutes moving forward.

Vinicius de Souza Costa - Scores first season goal Vinicius scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and made six tackles (four won), seven clearances and one block during Saturday's 3-1 win over Luton Town.

Impact Vinicius was amazing defensively as he always is but this time he also had decisive contribution on the attacking end as he generate the penalty that led to his side's second goal and then sealed the 3-1 win in the 73rd minute with a powerful right-footed shot. This was the first goal of the season for the midfielder, who also racked up 23 tackles, 13 clearances and six interceptions over his last three starts.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

James McAtee - Converts PK versus Luton Town McAtee scored a penalty goal and had two shots (one on target) during Saturday's 3-1 win over Luton Town.

Impact McAtee was having a very quiet performance until the 36th minute, when he stepped up to double his side's lead from the penalty spot. However, the attacker couldn't produce anything noteworthy afterwards and that ultimately led him to be subbed off during the second frame. With two of his three league goals of the season scored over his last three starts, McAtee will try to keep adding to his account during Feb. 18 clash against Brighton.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Max Lowe - Logs assist off bench in win Lowe delivered an assist and made three tackles (one won), two clearances and one block during Saturday's 3-1 win over Luton Town.

Impact Lowe was brought off the bench with just five minutes into the game to replace injured Rhys Norrington-Davies (undisclosed) and made a great impact, assisting Cameron Archer's opener at half-hour mark and being very solid on the defensive end. It's still to be known if Norrington-Davies will have to miss any additional time due to his injury but Lowe just proved to be a capable replacement if someone needs to fill in at left wing-back.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Cameron Archer - Scores opener versus Luton Town Archer scored a goal off two shots (one on target) during Saturday's 3-1 win over Luton Town.

Impact Archer had his first start since the calendar flipped to 2024 and made most of the opportunity, opening the scoring for the Blades at the half-hour mark after making a great run from the left. This was just the fourth goal of the season and the first since Dec. 22 for the forward, who will hope this a sign of better things to come. Archer's performance definitely put him in contention to remain in the lineup for Feb. 18 clash against Brighton.
