Sheffield Utd boss Wilder delivers update on Robinson, Souza clash

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder insists there's no issues between Jack Robinson and Vinicius Souza after their bust-up last week.

The pair clashed during the defeat at Wolves, which was the big talking point after the game.

But Wilder, ahead of Monday's clash with Arsenal, said: "I understand it was close and a massive talking point for media maybe outside Sheffield, not much of a talking point for myself involved at the football club. It made me laugh because the seocnd story down after that on Sky Sports was two NHL ice hockey players taking the gloves off and smashing each other to bits for 10 minutes.

"It wasn't quite that intensity but for me not an issue as long as it got put to bed straight away. As a player and manager, and here at Sheffield United there's been plenty of those situations that happened. There's the spotlight of the Premier League and we don't want it to happen and it's not a good image, I get that, and it was too close to comfort.

"But you know what side I'm going to come out on it. It was two boys who want to do well, did it get us going? I'm not sure because I thought we were alright anyway. But we put it to bed, these things happen and we move on."
