Robinson, 31, has been with the Blades since joining them back in 2020. He is out of contract at the end of next season and is due to become a free agent in June 2026 as things stand.
In this latest update regarding his condition, Selles has said, as per a report by The Star: “It has been standard with ups and downs in pre-season, but the squad is fit. Jack is back training with us, he can be ready for the game. I think [he is in a position to potentially start]. He made the last couple of trainings and he is in the condition. So if I decide for him to play or be in the squad, he will be happy with that and give us everything.”
Sheffield United face Bristol City on the opening day of the new season this weekend. They beat the Robins in the semi-finals of the play-offs in the last campaign.
The Blades are gearing up for a new era under the guidance of Selles. He was picked as their replacement for Chris Wilder last month.
