Meeting Highlights…INJURY REPORT
Marcos Senesi has a strain. He will be out for this game. He will not be able to go with his national team. We hope he can recover for the first game after the international break. I don't think anyone will recover. The only one who may have a chance to be on the bench is Tyler Adams. He played 30 minutes with the development squad the other day, but there's a big gap between playing that and being involved in a Premier League game.
…SOLANKE
He hasn't trained fully with the team. We are trying to put him in the best position to play tomorrow. Hopefully he'll train normally and we will make the decision, much like we did last week. I hope he can play as many minutes as he can, but it's something we're dealing with.
…OPPONENT
They've changed their formation a bit - sometimes with four, five at the back. We have to be ready for different scenarios, but I think we have to look at ourselves and be proactive. We have to do things properly and try to control the game.

Chris Wilder
Manager on Sheffield United…LAST DEFEAT
It’s a difficult time for everybody. We all love the football club and everyone connected to it is not enjoying this part of our recent history. We can’t be jumping through hoops. Of course the mood is going to be sombre. Football tests your resolve and psychology and it will test you all the way through your career. We’ll have better days and brighter days but you have to dig in and show you’re up for the fight.
…TOO MANY INJURIES
We have been incredibly harshly impacted in terms of injuries. There’s got to be a touch of sympathy in terms of stability and consistency that we’ve not had. Every team needs it but promoted teams really need it to give them a chance.
…OPPONENT
They’re a good solid club and they’ve got a lot of talent in the team. If they were watching Monday night then they would be expecting a pretty straight forward and comfortable home win. We have to accept that and we have to do our best to make sure that isn’t the way it goes.
