Viral blow for Blades
Sheffield United have been hit by a virus ahead of their clash with Arsenal in the Barclays Premiership.
Striker Danny Webber was the first member of Neil Warnock’s squad to be hit by the bug and both he and Claude Davis have struggled with it for a week.
Midfielders Michael Tonge and Keith Gillespie are the latest players affected and Warnock will leave it as late as possible to assess the quartet’s fitness. Stephen Quinn (fibula) and Derek Geary (thigh) are definitely out.
Team (from): Kenny, Davis, Morgan, Jagielka, Nade, Kozluk, Armstrong, Bromby, Tonge, Gillespie, Webber, Hulse, Kazim-Richards, A Quinn, Montgomery.
