Sheffield United midfielder Ollie Arblaster has suffered another injury setback that will delay his return by up to two months, Blades boss Ruben Selles has confirmed.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 21-year-old sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in November 2024 and has not played a competitive match since.<\/p>\n
“There has been some set back some weeks ago where it has delayed his moment to join the team at least for another month-and-a-half, two months,” Selles told BBC Radio Sheffield.<\/p>\n
“With those ACL injuries, there’s always something more. The first thing we need to address is that he’s back training with the team but healthy, then probably we need to test him in some under-21 games and then he will be able to come back.<\/p>\n
“Hopefully it will be earlier than Christmas but I don’t want to speculate. It was supposed to be in August, then September and now it’s November.”<\/p>\n
However, midfielder Tom Davies is set to make a full return to training next week and could be available for selection for the following match against Charlton on 20 September.<\/p>\n
Before then, the Blades face Ipswich Town on Friday (20:00 BST) in a bid to pick up their first points of the new Championship season.<\/p>\n
