Two debutants and welcome injury return in Sheffield United confirmed team news v Derby County

Sheffield United have named two debutants on their teamsheet for this afternoon’s clash with Derby County, after welcoming back another key man from injury. The Blades have been light on numbers in recent weeks but have bolstered their squad with four signings in this transfer window, with the hope of a fifth before Monday’s 11pm deadline.

Two new faces, Harry Clarke and Hamza Choudhury, make their debuts at right-back and central midfield respectively while Choudhury is partnered by Vini Souza, who’s back in the side from the start after his recent hamstring injury absence. Elsewhere Rhian Brewster starts with Jesurun Rak-Sakyi on the bench alongside Alfie Gilchrist and Sydie Peck.
