Sheffield United boss Ruben Selles has confirmed that midfielder Ollie Arblaster will miss the opening month of the upcoming Championship season.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 21-year-old has not played for the Blades since sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury in November 2024.<\/p>\n
“Ollie is not going to be with us until the middle of September if everything goes according to the plan,” Selles told BBC Radio Sheffield.<\/p>\n
“We need to be a little bit careful, it’s always complicated to come back after that kind of injury.”<\/p>\n
The squad are undergoing pre-season training in Selles’ home country of Spain, a part of the year that he relishes.<\/p>\n
“It’s one of the best parts of this job,” Selles said.<\/p>\n
“They go to the grass, try to see how the implement your idea, see how they play your ideas, how they improve your ideas.<\/p>\n
“For me, the experience to be on the grass everyday is something that I need.”<\/p>\n
