Sheffield United: Will Paul Coutts be parachuted back into the squad against Millwall this weekend?
The midfielder, who has not featured at senior level since breaking a leg in November, could make an appearance in the squad which visits Millwall this weekend after taking part in three development fixtures and a series of behind-closed-doors sessions.
Speaking last month, Coutts acknowledged the form of Oliver Norwood, John Fleck and John Lundstram meant he "had it all on" to secure a place in Wilder's team.Â

If Coutts misses the trip to The Den, it seems almost certain he will feature against either Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday or Hull City three days later.
"We know what Couttsy can do," Wilder said. "We know what a good player is he. We also want that competition as well."
