Brad Hills made his only Championship appearance this season in the 6-1 win over Plymouth Argyle in November
Johannes Hoff Thorup's latest injury bulletin leaves him with a selection headache for Norwich City's trip to Sheffield United.
He has only 15 players available who have featured for the Canaries in the Championship this season - that includes two goalkeepers, young defender Brad Hills, who has only nine minutes of league experience for City, and Josh Sargent, back for the first time in the league since October after injury.
Since the January transfer window opened Ashley Barnes, Christian Fassnacht, Kaide Gordon and Grant Hanley have all left the club.
Top scorer Borja Sainz is serving the second of a six-match ban for a spitting offence, and new signing Matej Jurasek will not be eligible until next month because of work permit issues.
The City midfield has been hit particularly hard and Marcelino Nunez, Liam Gibbs, Jacob Sorensen, Anis Ben Slimane, Gabriel Forsyth and Tony Springett are all missing through injury. Slimane only made his loan move from the Blades permanent earlier this week.
Thorup has confirmed his squad will include at least a couple of players from the academy who will be involved with the first team for the first time at Bramall Lane.
