Sheffield United wait on Oli McBurnie ahead of Norwich game

Sheffield United will assess striker Oli McBurnie for the visit of Norwich.

The Scotland international is playing through the pain barrier as he awaits hernia surgery in the World Cup break and boss Paul Heckingbottom will check on him after he completed 90 minutes in the midweek defeat at Coventry.

Jayden Bogle (knee) and Sander Berge (ankle) remain out along with Enda Stevens and Max Lowe.

The Blades have slipped from top spot in the Championship to fourth after a five-game winless run.

Andrew Omobamidele is facing several weeks out with ankle ligament damage.
