Wilder hopeful of big boost for Portsmouth game

Chris Wilder says he hopes to have Oliver Arblaster available for Sheffield United’s clash with Portsmouth on Saturday.

The midfielder was taken off at half-time due to illness against Middlesbrough on Monday night but Wilder says he hopes to have him available after a couple of days off.

“Blaster had to come off at half-time,” Wilder explained.

“He wasn’t very well during the first half. He complained to the referee halfway through, 25-30 minutes. He wasn’t feeling too great, so he had to come off.

“He’s had a couple of days off. He came back in yesterday, so we’re hoping he’s going to be available. Pat (Bamford) came through okay, everybody else is fine.”
