Sheffield United forward Rhian Brewster has been earmarked to play a critical role in the coming weeks and months.

The Blades have been dealing with injury problems throughout their squad this season.

George Baldock is training again, while Olie McBurnie is hoping that a scan will not reveal a big injury either.

With Daniel Jebbison and Will Osula still absent, Brewster will likely play against Arsenal on Saturday.

Boss Paul Heckingbottom stated: “We hope so. He's been working really well, there's a hunger about him from the bench but there's got to be a real degree of patience about him.

“We're aware of the journey and how hard he's worked but that's not to say that he can't deliver for us when he is in on the pitch. He's looking sharp and hungry on training so he's available for selection, we're considering him and we're really pleased with him.

“He's certainly grown up and he's aware of a lot of things in how he's changed in terms of his mentality. I've seen him change a hell of a lot in coming up to three years that I've known him, I've got a lot of time for him and it'll be special, I wish that effort at the weekend had dipped in, it'd be a good moment for him."
