Jordan pushing for Blades bow

Defender Stephen Jordan is pushing to make his Sheffield United debut against Preston at Bramall Lane. Jordan, who joined the Blades on a free transfer in the summer, has yet to feature due to a calf strain but has been included in the squad and is likely to be named on the bench. French full-back Jean Calve could also make his debut on Saturday after joining on a season-long loan from AS Nancy earlier this week. Fellow defender Nyron Nosworthy recovered from a knock to play 76 minutes of the 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough last Sunday and is set to keep his place in the side. Striker Darius Henderson and defender Ryan France (both knee) and midfielder Lee Williamson (back) all remain on the sidelines.
