Sheffield United vs Rochdale
Posted Friday, August 12, 2016 by PA
Sheffield United are without central defender Jack O'Connell for the visit of Rochdale.
O'Connell, signed last month from Brentford, suffered a knock in the Blades' extra-time EFL Cup defeat to Crewe on Tuesday.
O'Connell's absence is set to hand a debut to Jake Wright, who joined last month soon after terminating his contract at Oxford by mutual consent.
United boss Chris Wilder said several other player sustained knocks on Tuesday but refused to elaborate.
Rochdale have no new problems and manager Keith Hill can add goalkeeper Conrad Logan to his squad.
Logan this week joined the club on a six-month deal and should replace teenager Jonathan Diba Musangu on the bench as back-up for Josh Lillis.
It is hoped fellow new signing Oliver Rathbone will soon be cleared to make his debut while Joe Thompson made his first appearance since rejoining the club as a substitute against Chesterfield in the EFL Cup in midweek.
Peter Vincenti, Matty Lund and Ruben Noble-Lazarus are all awaiting return dates.
