Newcastle United return to Premier League action on Sunday (4:30pm kick-off) when they face Paul Heckingbottom’s side at Bramall Lane.
The Magpies were victorious against Brentford last weekend and earned a deserved point at the San Siro on Tuesday night.
Their return to Premier League action sees them make the trip to Yorkshire to face a Blades side that were defeated in the dying stages against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
Both sides have injury worried to contend with heading into the game with the hosts impacted by nine potential absentees.
Here, we take a look at the injury problems facing both camps ahead of Sunday’s clash:

6. Rhys Norrington-Davies
Norrington-Davies has been absent since March through injury but is on the comeback trail and may be available for selection in the near future. Sunday’s game may be too early for the Welshman to make his long-awaited return however. | Getty Images
7. John Fleck
Fleck is yet to take part in a match this season after re-injuring his leg in pre-season. Fleck missed two months of action this time last year with a similar injury and whilst he is on the road to recovery, it’s unlikely he will be back in time to face Newcastle this weekend. | Getty Images
8. Rhian Brewster
The former Liverpool man has been injured since last season but has rejoined training with the first-team. Sunday’s match may just come too early for Brewster, however. | Getty Images
