Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom was pushed about choosing John Lundstram for defeat to Leeds United on Saturday.

Lundstram continues to refuse to consider signing new terms with the Blades.

Heckingbottom said, "Sander is still a couple of weeks away, so will be a while.

"We know we have a lot of options up front, but we are short at the back in terms of centre back positions and we have taken two injuries today in terms of right-sided defenders, which is a problem and we have had limited options in midfield.

"We know where we stand with it, but it's not something we are going to moan about, we are going to get on with it and something we will work hard at."
