Sheffield United boss Kevin Blackwell is keen to extend the loan of Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Mark Bunn.
He said: "There is an option to keep him. We've got to wait for the outcome (of the hearing), knowing what the outcome will be is proving very tricky.
"We will have to go cap in hand to Big Sam (Allardyce) and hope that Blackburn will let him stay for a bit longer.
"He has shown is a keeper of potential, he is bright about his box and we are delighted to have him. Hopefully if the situation is that we need to have him a bit longer we can."
