Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder will rest players against Blackburn in the Carabao Cup, with some nursing “bumps and bruises” following the defeat to Leicester.
Wilder will use the second-round tie to make changes as he looks to get minutes into the legs of players who have not featured much so far this season.
“We’ve got a couple of bumps and bruises from the weekend, which will mean a few players miss Tuesday,” Wilder told the club website. “But there’s nothing long term, we’ve got no long-term injuries at all.
“We’ll make a decision, but the more than likely decision is that we will make changes and give the boys a chance to put in a performance.”
“He wasn’t close at all for Saturday, but we’ve got a full week now and hopefully he will be out on the grass pretty early. We are hopeful John will be ready for the weekend and, if he does make it, I expect we will have a full squad to choose from,” said the Blades boss.
“It was good to get Ravel on to the pitch, even though it was difficult for him and we were chasing the game. He will definitely be involved on Tuesday night,” said Wilder.
