Sheffield United handed triple boost ahead of Bristol City

For Sheffield United’s play-off semi-final second leg against Bristol City on Monday night, three players are

anticipated to be available: Femi Seriki, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, and Ben Brereton-Diaz.

Despite missing a potentially important group of players for their trip to Ashton Gate, the Blades managed to win the

opening leg 3-0.

Rak-Sakyi and Seriki were unable to participate last week due to personal fitness issues, and the Chilean

international was rested as a precaution due to his illness.

Chris Wilder confirms triple Sheffield United availability boost ahead of Bristol City second leg

Chris Wilder believes that having the three wide players available for selection in the second leg will significantly

improve United’s chances of making it to the play-off final at Wembley.

As reported by The Star, the manager of the Blades stated, “We made a decision on Femi and Breo, on Thursday

night, and we’re delighted to say both will be involved on Monday.” ” For giving me a clean bill of health, I am

grateful to the doctors, conditioning, sports science department, and everyone else who deserves no recognition.

Over the years, there has been a lot of talk about this club from the standpoint of fitness. We had to return to training

and having your best players available. On the treatment table were the experienced players as well as every player

we couldn’t employ the season before.

Right now, we’re all working together to become a part of the team and treat others with respect when they’re not on

it. Callum O’Hare has been outstanding for the last two or three games, and Tom Davies arrived on Thursday and

had a tremendous influence. Contributions have come from Rob Holding and Kieffer Moore.

“Sam McCallum has played, Brooksy has played, and Femi is pushing.” They appreciate the choices we make, respect

their teammates, and give it their best. Although they will experience some disappointment, they handle it well. And

in order to go strong into Monday’s hopefully unforgettable evening, we’ll need all of that unity.”

Both Rak-Sakyi and Brereton Diaz have not been in Wilder’s squads since their 2-1 loss to Burnley at Turf Moor

ruined their prospects of automatic promotion.

The manager said that the Crystal Palace loanee’s inability to play at Ashton Gate in the first match was due to a

muscle problem. We’ve been cautious because he’s just had a slight hamstring strain. We would have taken a chance

if there had been one. He will be involved on Monday after coming very close to being involved on Thursday.

Sheffield United have to establish early confidence on Monday night

There is really nothing to lose for their opponents in the second leg. They are already behind 3-0 overall, and Rob

Dickie, one of their more seasoned players, will not be playing since the Robins’ appeal of his red card for a penalty-

box challenge on Moore was not upheld.

The city shouldn’t be afraid to go to Bramall Lane. The majority of people think the Blades are already guaranteed a

spot in the championship game, which might be risky for Wilder’s team.

They will be under pressure to defeat a weaker club at home and establish dominance. United will have to work even

harder to maintain their lead if any jitters or anxiety start to show in the early going and maybe Liam Manning’s

team scores first.
