‘Really dangerous’ – Chris Wilder gives verdict on Femi Seriki’s Sheffield United return after injury lay-off

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder praised right-back Femi Seriki after the defender made his return from a ten-game injury lay-off. Seriki came on as a 57th-minute substitute during Sheffield United's 1-1 Championship draw against Derby County on Saturday at Bramall Lane. Wilder described Seriki as 'really dangerous' at the top of the pitch, noting that his attacking qualities helped pin the opposition back.

Seriki had been sidelined since August 25 with a knee injury before replacing Hamza Choudhury in the second half. Following a red card for Derby County defender Dion Sanderson, the Blades equalized through Patrick Bamford from a Romelle Donovan cross. Wilder explained that utilizing attacking full-backs remains central to his system, with Seriki strictly planned for 30 to 35 minutes of action.
