Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper provided an injury update prior to the Reds' Championship play-off first-leg earlier today.
The 42-year-old confirmed he hopes midfielders Jack Colback and Ryan Yates will be available for the trip to Bramall Lane on Saturday, but the Forest boss is open to give the pair "every chance" to feature. Both players were not in Cooper's squad for the final match of the regular season against Hull City.
Colback has been struggling with a groin problem, while Yates suffered a knock to the shoulder in the defeat to Bournemouth. Scott McKenna was an unused substitute at Hull due to illness but is fine to face the Blades. Djed Spence, Brennan Johnson and Sam Surridge were all used off the bench in that fixture, with Forest keen to avoid any risks ahead of the play-off double-header.
