Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder is keeping his fingers crossed for the results from the latest round of coronavirus testing.

United's clash with Burnley went ahead on Tuesday despite two players and several members of staff testing positive, while two more players were taken to Manchester Airport for tests that morning, which came back negative.

The club's players underwent more testing on Thursday and Wilder admitted he would not be surprised if Saturday's match against Crystal Palace is not able to go ahead.
