Sheffield United vs Gillingham - Unchanged squad for Sheffield United

Posted Friday, April 08, 2016 by PA

Sheffield United boss Nigel Adkins is hoping to select from an unchanged squad for the home game against Gillingham.

Adkins has no major new injury worries but will monitor defender Alex Baptiste, who was withdrawn in the 57th minute during last week's home win against Walsall after returning from a hamstring injury.

Fellow defender John Brayford remains sidelined with a calf injury which may have cut short his season.

Teenage midfielders Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Louis Reed are both in contention as the Blades chase back-to-back wins for the first time since December.

Gillingham are set to have defender John Egan back from a knee injury.

Egan, though, could be made to wait for a return to the side, having been sidelined since mid-February, with on-loan Bristol City defender Adam El-Abd in good form.

Striker Dominic Samuel has returned to parent club Reading to assess the extent of a knee problem suffered in the goalless draw with Coventry last weekend.

Forward Cody McDonald has been on the bench for the past two matches since his return from some three months out with a foot problem, while top scorer Bradley Dack is stepping up his recovery after a hamstring injury.
