Max Lowe - Returns to action Lowe returned to play last week, registering 19 minutes between two matches against Brentford and Liverpool.

Impact Lowe is back in action for Sheffield after undergoing ankle surgery, having appeared as a substitute twice last week against Liverpool and Brentford. The winger was initially the starter for the club's first two matches of the season, being the club's main option on the left flank. He could return to that role soon after testing his ankle in two appearances, possibly sending Jayden Bogle or James McAtee to the bench more often.

Oliver McBurnie - Suspension served McBurnie is available for Saturday's match against Chelsea after serving his two-match suspension.

Impact McBurnie is back as an option for Sheffield, having served his two-match suspension against Brentford and Liverpool due to a straight red card. The forward has been a rotational player for much of the season, so he probably won't return to the starting XI immediately but could be in contention for that spot moving forward after serving his ban.

Oliver Norwood - Available after suspension Norwood is an option for Saturday's match against Chelsea after serving his one-match suspension against Brentford.

Impact Norwood is back in contention for Sheffield after serving his one-match suspension due to yellow card accumulation. The midfielder could return to the starting XI against Brentford, as he has started in all but four matches this season, registering 13 interceptions, 30 clearances and 33 tackles to go along with one goal in 14 appearances this season.

Jack Robinson - Suspended for Chelsea match Robinson will not be an option against Chelsea on Saturday, having picked up a suspension due to yellow card accumulation.

Impact Robinson will be serving a one-match ban on Saturday after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Brentford. The defender has only missed one start all season, so his absence will affect the squad, with Auston Trusty most likely replacing Robinson in the middle of the defense.

Auston Trusty - Logs in eight clearances Trusty generated eight clearances in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Brentford. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 17th minute.

Impact Trusty has been impressive during his first 11 matches with the team, starting nine in that span. He already has 49 clearances, which ups his average clearances per game to 4.4, which has earned him nine straight starts in the back line for Sheffield United.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gustavo Hamer - Assists in win Hamer assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Brentford.

Impact Hamer helped provide the team's lone goal to help get the win Saturday. He's started all 15 matches played for the team so far, recording two goals and one assist while logging in an average of three crosses per game.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

James McAtee - Scores in win McAtee scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 win against Brentford.

Impact McAtee scored the teams lone goal to take the win Saturday. It was also his first goal of the season and his first EPL goal since 2021. In the last nine matches, the midfielder has logged in a goal and an assist with 18 tackles (10 won), nine chances created and three interceptions in that span.

Wes Foderingham - Upstanding in win Foderingham made four saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 win against Brentford. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 92nd minute.

Impact Foderingham managed four saves for his first clean sheet of the season. Prior to Saturday, he had allowed 12 goals in his previous five matches. He does have an average of about 2.5 goals conceded per game, but also leads the league in saves with 77 in 16 contests.

George Baldock - Doesn't make bench Saturday Baldock (leg) is not in the squad to face Brentford on Saturday.

Impact Baldock was spotted in training Friday but is not fit enough to return to action yet. He's now set to miss a second consecutive contest after starting in the four games prior. His next chance to play will come against Chelsea on Dec. 16.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

George Baldock - Training Friday Baldock (leg) took part in training during Friday's session, according to manager Chris Wilder. "George has trained today, we will make a late decision on him."

Impact Baldock is back in training despite missing Wednesday's clash with Liverpool. With such a short turnaround that means he will have a late fitness test Saturday but there's still heavy doubt on him actually making his way into the starting XI.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver McBurnie - Suspended against Brentford McBurnie is suspended for Saturday's clash with Brentford.

Impact McBurnie will miss a second match due to the suspension, likely keeping James McAtee in the starting XI. McBurnie will return for a Dec. 16 trip to Chelsea, where he will be a good candidate to partner Cameron Archer in the attack.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver Norwood - Handed fifth yellow card Norwood was given his fifth yellow card of the season during Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool and is set for a one month suspension.

Impact Norwood had gotten the start off the bench Wednesday, however he did manage to pick up a yellow card in just the four minutes he played. He has been averaging about 2.7 crosses and 2.3 tackles per game. James McAtee and Vinicius are the expected pair to lineup in the midfield for Saturday's clash with Brentford in his absence.

Wes Foderingham - Brilliant despite loss Foderingham made six saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Impact Foderingham stopped six shots and made perhaps the save of the season to deny Mohamed Salah his 200th Premier League goal. The goalkeeper put in a truly brilliant performance but of course it wasn't enough as his attackers offered him nothing going forward. Foderingham has massive save upside but little-to-no chance at clean sheets.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

James McAtee - Creates chance McAtee recorded two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact McAtee ran everything positive in the attack Wednesday, though that really wasn't much. The forward put the only shot on target and created the only chance during the loss. This offensive unit isn't exactly inspiring so any sort of spark could keep McAtee in the starting XI for the foreseeable future.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cameron Archer - Four shots in rout Archer recorded four shots (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Archer shot four times but failed to truly trouble the Liverpool net. The striker will have easier matches to look forward to, though the entire attack has been scuffling along as of late. Archer's run of games until the Christmas break will be brutally difficult with the only reprieve coming during a Boxing day clash with Luton Town.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver McBurnie - Available for selection McBurnie is an option for Saturday's clash with Brentford after serving a one-match ban.

Impact McBurnie was banned for a mid-week clash with Liverpool, pushing James McAtee into the starting XI. McBurnie is now fit and available once more and should be an option for the first team ahead of a Saturday clash with Brentford, where he will likely partner Cameron Archer in attack.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andre Brooks - Makes rare start Brooks made his first Premier League start during Wednesday's clash with Liverpool.

Impact Brooks was in the starting XI on Wednesday, his first Premier League appearance since an Aug. 18 clash with Nottingham Forest. The midfielder has been available occasionally but has largely been a depth option. With a new manager in charge it appears Brooks could be in line for a more substantial role.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

George Baldock - Out with leg injury Baldock (leg) is out for Wednesday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Baldock is back on the injury list, missing Wednesday's match with a leg injury after just recovering five matches ago from a calf injury. This is an unfortunate break for the player, as he looks to be a regular starter this season, starting in the club's past four matches. He will hope to return soon to avoid falling out of favor. Anel Ahmedhodvic is replacing Baldock in Wednesday's squad.
