Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder reports four player injuries before Blackburn match

Sheffield United faces Blackburn with a depleted squad as four players are ruled out for the upcoming fixture. Manager Chris Wilder confirmed that Femi Seriki, Harrison Burrows, Tahith Chong, and Ryan One will not be available for selection due to injury. While these absences persist, defender Matt Doherty is back in the squad after recovering from his own fitness issues. Wilder noted that the club continues to manage a thin roster, with some players currently participating despite carrying recurring fitness concerns. The team intends to avoid rushing the recovery process for the sidelined players, with potential returns targeted before the international break in two weeks. Additionally, Wilder indicated that the club remains interested in signing a free agent forward, though any new addition would require an existing player to depart first to accommodate roster constraints.
