Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has put Oliver Arblaster on notice for a Premier League debut.
The youngster was recalled from his loan at Port Vale earlier this month.
"He'll put pressure on, he's good enough," Wilder said. "I've had a few chats with some really good Championship managers who want to take him. Sometimes people talk about first loans not being successful but that was a really successful one, albeit in the division he was playing in.
"We've seen his pathway through the England sides and how he's affecting games at international level against players his age. I don't want to put too much pressure on him but he's going be a player and he's a Sheffield United boy.
"Is he going to play as soon as he gets fit? I would possibly say he won't but he'll certainly put huge pressure on the likes of Vini Souza and Ollie Norwood and Brooks and Tom Davies and Ben Osborn. He'll want to fight his way through that lot and get himself into the team."
