Sheffield United "illness"
The Sheffield United camp have been hit by a wave of illness through the playing squad ahead of Wednesday's clash with Tottenham in the FA Cup fifth round. It could have a huge impact on the tie, with both sides looking to reach the latter stages of the competition.
United manager Paul Heckingbottom said: ""Ciaran's [Clark] ill, we've got illness through the camp and he's not in today, we've got a few missing. We'll see how everyone is tomorrow and decide a team from there. It's frustrating. We've got a few bodies back and with the tight schedule, I know what type I'd have liked to pick. Players want to play."
