Manager Steve Bruce, however, has other injury concerns, and United’s head coach said: “Jamaal (Lascelles) and Emil Krafth are a bit of a problem. We’ll see how there are today.
"They are my concerns. Fab Schar’s OK. He played (against Newport), and is ahead of schedule, but, defensively, we’re still a bit light.”
