Sheffield United: Coaching staff have drawn-up plans to help them cope with any late selection issues as players begin returning from international dutyÂ

Enda Stevens started last night's match in Poland

With John EganÂ and Enda StevensÂ not scheduled to report back from international duty until later today, Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder faces the unenviable prospect of not being able to begin finalisingÂ his starting eleven for this weekend's visit to Bristol City until 24 hours before the game.

United travel to the south-west third in the table and having won each of their last four league outings, scoring 11 goals in the process.

But with the Republic of Ireland understood to be travelling back from their friendly with Poland later this morning, plans have been made for defenders Egan and Stevens to undergo last minute fitness assessments on the eve of the fixture.
