John Egan - Starts against the Netherlands Egan (ankle) got the start during Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Netherlands.

Impact Egan returned to the starting XI after picking up a minor ankle issue against Everton. A return to first team action means Egan should be set to get straight back out on the pitch against Tottenham on Sept. 16 when back with Sheffield.

Anel Ahmedhodzic - Mainstay in Sheffield XI Ahmedhodzic has started all four matches for Sheffield United this season, going the full 90 minutes every time and recording five shots (zero on target), eight tackles (six won) a...

Impact Ahmedhodzic sits second on the team in clearances behind John Egan (29) while leading the way with six blocks. Barring an injury, there is no reason to expect Ahmedhodzic to be dropped from the starting XI, so fantasy players can expect him to continue racking up defensive stats.

Anis Ben Slimane - Active with U21's Slimane got the start during Monday's U21 clash against West Brom.

Impact Slimane returned to the bench at the weekend in the Premier League and is now getting minutes back on the pitch. The midfielder should be fully fit for a return after the international break with eyes on a Sept. 16 trip to Tottenham.

Yasser Larouci - Picks up knock in first start Larouci was forced to exit in the 68th minute of Saturday's match against Everton due to an injury, according to manager Paul Heckingbottom.

Impact The injury doesn't sound serious for Larouci, who was getting his first league start for the Blades, almost out of necessity. He figures to have the leg up on Luke Thomas in terms of minutes on the left wing, though nothing is guaranteed with two new players in the squad. Larouci has already played 196 minutes through the first four league matches.

John Egan - Exits injured against Everton Egan made it 68 minutes in Saturday's match against Everton before exiting with an injury, according to manager Paul Heckingbottom. "Egs was knee and ankle but he didn't feel his k...

Impact Egan was called up to the Ireland national team and more information on his injury should be revealed in the coming week. He'd started the first four league matches and doesn't expect to lose that role this season. Based off early comments, this doesn't seem like a serious injury for the center-back.

Oliver McBurnie - Provides assist in draw McBurnie assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Everton.

Impact McBurnie made his first start of the season and recorded his first assist. His assist came when he received the ball in the box with his back to the goal and found Cameron Archer behind him in the box, who then put it past the goalkeeper. In addition to his assist, the forward also registered his first two shots on goal of the season.

Cameron Archer - Scores in draw Archer scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Everton.

Impact Archer made his season debut for Sheffield United and also recorded his first goal. The goal came after an assist by Oliver McBurnie found him in the box, where he scored with a beautiful inside-of-the-foot finish. The forward was also heavily involved in the second goal, as his shot hit the post and then deflected off Jordan Pickford before going in.

Wes Foderingham - Concedes twice in draw Foderingham recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Everton.

Impact Foderingham was beaten twice by Everton, both goals resulting from short-range shots. The goalkeeper was unlucky with the first goal as he made an impressive save, but it unfortunately bounced right back to Abdoulaye Doucoure, who managed to put it past him. The second goal came after a cross, and with the shot from such a short distance, he couldn't prevent it from going in. He has now conceded two goals in three straight games and has failed to record a clean sheet all season. Looking ahead, Foderingham will face Tottenham, a team that scored five goals in their previous match.

Daniel Jebbison - Remains sidelined Jebbison (groin) hasn't been selected for Saturday's match versus Everton.

Impact Jebbison hasn't been available for any of the three matches to open the season due to a thigh problem and will look to get healthy during the upcoming international break.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Anis Ben Slimane - Bench option Saturday Slimane (thigh) is available for Saturday's clash with Everton.

Impact Slimane returns after missing the past two matches with a thigh problem. He played ten minutes in the opener and will at most see some action off the bench in this one too.

James McAtee - Returns to Blades McAtee completed a season-long loan move to Sheffield from Manchester City, the club announced.

Impact McAtee played a major role in getting Sheffield into the Premier League in 2022-23 and now he heads to the Blades to try and keep them up. The midfielder was never likely to see much playing time in the Manchester City first team but should play a major role for Sheffield United after making 37 appearances in 2022-23.

Anis Ben Slimane - Nearing return to pitch Slimane (thigh) was expected to come off the bench against Lincoln City on Wednesday but remained an unused substitute. Still, the midfielder figures to be in contention against Ev...

Impact Based on the manager's comments, Slimane likely won't be immediately pressed into the starting XI and likely will be held in reserve. Once back to full match fitness, the midfielder may be needed to replace Ben Osborn (groin) who is expected to be sidelined long-term.

AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Osborn - Facing extended absence Osborn (groin) will not be back in the short term after manager Paul Heckingbottom told reporters Thursday, "Lowey and Ben (Osborn) are going to be a while."

Impact At this point, Osborn should probably be considered out indefinitely until the manager provides a more concrete recovery timeline. Prior to getting hurt, Osborn started each of the opening three matches of the campaign. If Anis Ben Slimane (thigh) is deemed fit enough, he could be in contention to slot into Osborn's spot in the starting XI, with Tom Davies another option as well.

Luke Thomas - Joins Blades on loan Thomas has joined Sheffield United on loan from Leicester City for the rest of the season.

Impact Thomas is yet another player to move away from Leicester City for the season, as he's back in the Premier League. The 22-year-old left-back actually saw a drop in time last season, as the Foxes went through a couple managerial changes. At Sheffield United, he'll fight with Yasser Larouci for minutes, as it appears Max Lowe could be set for surgery and the main reason Thomas is now on their team.

Auston Trusty - Busy in loss Trusty played 90 minutes and made two tackles and three interceptions during Wednesday's 0-0 (3-2p) EFL Cup loss to Lincoln City.

Impact Trusty made his first start and first appearance for the Blades and impressed. The center-back might not hop into the starting XI straight away but Trusty could see more playing time throughout the season after his permanent move away from Arsenal.

AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ismaila Coulibaly - Goes 90 against Lincoln City Coulibaly (knee) played the full 90 during Wednesday's 0-0 (3-2p) loss to Lincoln City in the EFL Cup.

Impact Coulibaly got the start to make his comeback from a knee injury and went the full 90. It's a good sign that the knee injury was fully healed. That said Coulibaly has largely been a cup player in Sheffield and with the side eliminated from the EFL Cup most of his minutes may come in the FA Cup.

AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver McBurnie - 45 minutes in EFL Cup McBurnie played 45 minutes during Wednesday's 0-0 (3-2p) loss to Lincoln City in the EFL Cup.

Impact McBurnie made his first start of 2023-24, but was only able to go 45 minutes before coming off at half time. Despite the plethora of attacking options McBurnie could be the top choice to lead the line once he's back to full match fitness.
