Keeper Cooper an injury doubt for Blades' QPR clash
Chris Wilder says he has faith in his struggling team
- Published
Sheffield United goalkeeper Michael Cooper is an injury doubt for the game against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday (15:00 BST), boss Chris Wilder has confirmed.
The stopper was substituted off at half-time during their loss to Coventry City in the week with a back issue.
"Michael never came off with something that was innocuous, he's come off because he couldn't carry on so he's doubtful," Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"We are doing our best, everybody is and Michael himself, to get him ready for Saturday and if he's not, we will assess it through the international break."
Gustavo Hamer is set to return to training on Monday and may return for the game against Sheffield Wednesday after the international break, with Ollie Arblaster also aiming to play a role in the game at Hillsborough for his first appearance for the side in 12 months.
Tahith Chong, however, will be a week behind Hamer and is not likely to feature against the Owls.
