- Published
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against West Ham United.
Here are the main lines from his news conference:
Wilder confirmed there are no fresh injury concerns, adding that the team are "in a really good place".
Tom Davies and Rhys Norrington-Davies are back training on grass, while Rhian Brewster is continuing to build his minutes.
Wilder says new loan signing Ben Brereton Diaz "has livened everyone up", adding: "We’re delighted with what he has produced on the training ground."
On the possibility of more signings before the transfer window closes, he said: "We’ve worked hard in identifying a couple of new signings. We believe that, when the window shuts, there will be a feeling that we are in a better place than when it opened."
In response to defender Anel Ahmedhodzic being linked with Napoli, Wilder said: "Speculation about a good player is a good thing - you want to be spoken about. I haven’t been told from above it’s a potential transfer. The player has to get his head down and carry on. Good players have to deal with speculation."
