The Blades boss expects to welcome back George Baldock and Enda Stevens from injury, but those returns may be tempered by the loss of two other players following Tuesday night's victory over Newcastle United.

McBurnie hasn't featured for the Blades since Boxing Day against Everton, after damaging his shoulder at Southampton.

And Wilder said: "He's working away, he's been out on the grass today.

"It's a difficult one because of the nature of the injury, it has to be tested in training.

"He's come through the early parts of his recovery and we've still got a day to see where he's at, but he's a doubt.

"I'd be delighted if he's available but it's a day-by-day process with Oli."
