Sheffield United team news v Bournemouth as Paul Heckingbottom makes Oli McBurnie decision
Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom resisted the urge to bring returning duo Oli McBurnie and Anel Ahmedhodzic straight back into the side for this afternoon's crunch clash against fellow Premier League strugglers Bournemouth at Bramall Lane.
The pair are back available after their groin and hamstring issues which kept them sidelined in recent weeks, but are only on the bench for the clash against the Cherries at Bramall Lane. The Blades have named an unchanged side from their draw at Brighton before the international break, with Max Lowe back on the bench after his absence with an ankle injury.
