Sheffield United boss Nigel Adkins will assess the fitness of David Edgar, Che Adams and Louis Reed ahead of his side's home game against Bury.

Defender Edgar, striker Adams and midfielder Reed have all been on international duty this week for Canada, England Under-20s and England Under-19s respectively and will be monitored before Adkins selects his squad.

Striker Jose Baxter sits out the final game of his three-match ban following his dismissal during the recent defeat at Fulham, while midfielder James Wallace is hoping to shake off a calf injury.

The Blades, chasing a fifth straight league win, can move top with victory if other results go their way.

The Shakers are again without veteran forward Ryan Lowe for the trip to Bramall Lane.

The 36-year-old, who missed the start of the campaign through injury, is now sidelined with a calf problem.

Midfielder Hallam Hope (hamstring) will have a fitness test but defender Danny Rose should be back in contention.
