Wilder rules trio out for Robins clash

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has confirmed Tom Davies, Harry Clarke and Alfie Gilchrist will miss the match against Bristol City on Tuesday through injury.

The trio missed Saturday's 1-0 victory against Preston North End with midfielder Hamza Choudhury having to fill in as a makeshift right-back in the absence of Gilchrist.

However, Wilder did indicate that Ipswich loanee Clarke and Chelsea loanee Gilchrist could return for Sunday's derby against bitter rivals Sheffield Wednesday.

"Alfie is back with us. Harry is back with us as well because they both went to their parent clubs so we will assess them up to the weekend," the 57-year-old told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"The two boys won't be available for tomorrow night but there's a chance they could be for Sunday."

Wilder also confirmed he would not think twice about playing regular first-choice central defender Anel Ahmedhodzic against the Robins, despite the Bosnian currently being on nine yellow cards - meaning one more on Tuesday would rule him out of the match at Hillsborough.
