Sheffield United forward Oli McBurnie is hoping to prove his fitness for Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Luton.

The Scot is nearing a return after a spell out with injury and Covid-19.

George Baldock and John Fleck are also back in training after lay-offs, but it is not clear if they will be in contention to face the Hatters.

Defender Baldock has been out of action for a month while midfielder Fleck has not featured since Paul Heckingbottom was appointed as manager in November.
