How do Sheffield United solve their right-back issue in wake of Femi Seriki injury blow?

Sheffield United face a major right-back dilemma after Femi Seriki suffered a season-ending patella tendon rupture against Charlton Athletic. With Matt Doherty struggling with ongoing fitness concerns, manager Chris Wilder has relied on midfielder Hamza Choudhury to fill the role. Potential tactical alternatives include moving Japhet Tanganga wide, though that risks disrupting his defensive partnership with Liam Kitching, while Jamie Shackleton remains sidelined with a thigh injury.

The Star analyzes potential January solutions, noting Sheffield United have one remaining loan spot available. Potential transfer options include a loan move for Coventry City right-back Kaine Kesler-Hayden or an ambitious attempt to bring back former Blade Kyle Walker from Burnley. Additionally, the report notes that Seriki had been offered a contract extension prior to his injury, though he had not signed it.
