Two changes for Sheffield United at Blackburn Rovers as Chris Wilder makes Gus Hamer call at Ewood Park

Blades boss makes decision on midfield with skipper ruled out

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has made two changes to his starting XI for the trip to Blackburn Rovers, with midfield duo Conor Hourihane and Luke Freeman making way for Callum Robinson and Gus Hamer.

Hamer, a summer signing from Coventry City, has been in impressive form for the Blades in recent weeks and starts in place of the suspended Oliver Norwood.

Robinson, meanwhile, comes into the side in place of Freeman, who has been struggling with a hamstring injury.

Blades looking to bounce back from defeat

The Blades will be looking to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough last time out, which saw them slip to eighth in the Championship table.

Blackburn, meanwhile, are in 12th place and will be looking to build on their impressive 2-1 win over Cardiff City in midweek.
