Key Players Back For Sunday

Last updated : 25 August 2006 By Kevin Markey
Paul Butler, Gary Kelly and Shaun Derry were all missing midweek whilst Matthew Kilgallon and David Healy both appeared as last minute substitutes, but all should return for Sunday's derby at Sheffield Wednesday.

Eirik Bakke will compete for a starting place in midfield after impressing against Cardiff City last weekend and scoring against Chester.

But Seb Carole started his first game on the right wing against Chester, striking the post during the second half and the Frenchman may be given his first league start.

Neil Sullivan, meanwhile, will be hoping to retain the keeper's jersey having replaced on-loan Tony Warner against City.

Geoff Horsfield still has two games of his four-match ban to serve and is not due to return until the Whites meet Sunderland on September 13th.

United (from): Sullivan , Warner, Kelly, Butler, Kilgallon, Crainey, Gregan, Foxe, Richardson, Bakke, Carole, Westlake, Derry, Lewis, Healy, Blake, Beckford, Moore.
