Sheffield United's veteran centre-back Chris Lucketti hopes to be back in action in time for next weekend's meeting with Chelsea, as he recovers well from a foot injury.
The 35-year-old had forced his way back into the Blades first-team in recent weeks, before suffering a ruptured muscle in his foot in the 4-0 defeat at Liverpool in late February.
However, Lucketti is now hopeful of being fit to face the reigning Premiership champions after a quickfire recovery.
He told the club's official website: "The foot is a lot better than I initially feared. It's coming on well, the pain is settling down now and it's improving every day.
"It's good that we haven't got a game until 17th March, it's a good opportunity to get healed and be back in contention for the Chelsea game.
