Sheffield United will be without injured skipper Chris Morgan for the home league clash with Derby. The central defender tore a rib muscle in the midweek defeat at Watford and will be out for up to five weeks. The loss of Morgan is the latest in a long list of injury setbacks to hinder manager Kevin Blackwell's promotion plans this season. Possible replacements Marcel Seip and Andrew Taylor are both sidelined with hamstring problems, while Gary Naysmith remains absent due to his long-term knee injury. But Blackwell can recall Toni Kallio to his side following his return to Bramall Lane on loan from Fulham. The Finland international was not eligible for the Watford game due to delays in his paperwork. Recent signing Nyron Nosworthy is expected to continue at the heart of defence after making his debut at Vicarage Road, with Jonathan Fortune likely to partner him.
