Sam Hutchinson looks likely to miss Friday night’s derby clash at Bramall Lane after reportedly suffering yet another injury setback.
The midfielder was expected to return for the televised showdown after sitting out the last two games with a hernia problem but it now seems that he will not be fit to face Sheff U and could face another lay-off.
He has made just seven appearances this season and had knee surgery in October, before making a return to action last month.
