Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder can breathe a sigh of relief as he prepares for next week’s crucial clash against Leeds United. Key midfielders Vinicius Souza and Gustavo Hamer will be available for selection after successfully navigating their last match without picking up a fifth yellow card, which would have triggered a one-match suspension.
The Blades secured a vital 1-0 win over Luton Town on Saturday, lifting spirits at the club. Alongside the victory, Wilder was delighted with the selection triumph, knowing that his two influential midfielders will be available for the upcoming fixture at Elland Road.
“They’re both going to make tackles and commit to stuff, which they have to. So it’s coming. We understand that, but it was important that both Souza and Hamer got through this game,” Wilder said, emphasizing the importance of keeping his squad intact for the tough challenges ahead.
Gustavo Hamer has been instrumental in Sheffield United’s strong start to the season, contributing four goals and one assist. Leeds United made a late attempt to sign the Dutch playmaker in the summer transfer window, but his importance to the Blades cannot be overstated.
Vinicius Souza has also been a standout performer in the Championship, with his performances earning him a rating of 7.32 on WhoScored.com, ranking him fifth among all players in the division. His ability to control the midfield and break up opposition attacks has been crucial for the Blades.
With both Hamer and Souza available, Sheffield United will be at full strength for the highly anticipated match against Leeds, as they aim to continue their positive momentum and push further up the table.
