Sheffield United vs Swindon preview - Blades trio back for play-off
Posted Wednesday, May 06, 2015 by PA
Sheffield United manager Nigel Clough will have Jamie Murphy, Paul Coutts and Chris Basham available for the Sky Bet League One play-off semi-final first leg with Swindon.
Murphy was rested for the final day of the regular campaign while Coutts (hamstring) and Basham (knee) were nursing injuries.
Matty Done is rated as doubtful for both legs as the former Rochdale man struggles with a groin injury, though Ryan Flynn and Steven Davies are fit and pushing for starts.
Louis Reed picked up a season-ending heel injury against Chesterfield on Sunday and Terry Kennedy is also unlikely to feature in the play-off campaign due to a knee problem.
Swindon will assess the fitness of defender Harry Toffolo before naming their squad for the trip north.
The Norwich loanee limped out of their draw with Colchester with a bruised thigh and then missed Sunday's 2-2 draw with Leyton Orient, leaving him as a major doubt to face the Blades.
But boss Mark Cooper no longer has to worry about his five other previous injury worries with Jon Obika and Ben Gladwin (both back), Wes Foderingham (hip), Massimo Luongo (ankle) and captain Nathan Thompson (foot) all fit and ready to be involved.
Town were beaten 2-0 on their last visit to Sheffield but ran out 5-2 winners when the sides met at The County Ground last September.
