Sheffield United receive double injury boost ahead of Nottingham Forest showdown

Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom has delivered an update on his squad ahead of Nottingham Forest's visit in the Championship (7:45pm kick-off).

While there are a few names on the absent list, the Blades boss is expecting to welcome back George Baldock and Conor Hourihane.

While Jack O'Connell, Jayden Bogle, David McGoldrick and Rhian Brewster remain sidelined with long-term injuries.

Speaking to the media on the return of Baldock and Hourihane, he said: "Hopefully he [Baldock] will be OK. We've done everything we can after the game. He didn't train Monday and hopefully we have done the right things for him.

"There's a chance he could feature.

"We have done similar with Conor and he has been on the grass so touch wood those lighter three days have allowed a couple of bodies to refresh."

Experienced defender Chris Basham also confirmed he will be absent after recently picking up an injury.

Basham added: "Never nice being injured even more frustrating when winning 4-0.

"Injury not as bad as I first thought but will be on the sideline for a few weeks. In the meantime, will be backing the lads all the way.

"Not come this far to only get this far."
