Sheffield United head into the international break in far better shape than last time, but has it come at the right moment for Chris Wilder's in-form side?
The Star's Max Morris writes that the upcoming international break arrives at an ideal moment for Chris Wilder's Sheffield United squad to recover. Despite entering the break in strong form after taking 13 points from their last six games, the Blades have faced a grueling schedule of six matches in 24 days.
Morris highlights that the two-week pause will provide essential recovery time for key players like Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford. Before the break begins, United travel to face Charlton Athletic on Saturday, where a victory could lift them into Championship play-off positions.
