Kaelan Casey, the 20-year-old loanee from West Ham United, could make his home debut after featuring as a second-half substitute on his Swans debut at Middlesbrough.

“I’m excited for Tuesday and I hope to get more minutes… I believe I can gain a lot from the seasoned players here,” he said.

Eom Ji-Sung has been given a summer break by South Korea and returns to contention, Ben Cabango and Ollie Cooper return to the squad after minor knocks.

Ruben Sellés’ side have bolstered their ranks over the summer with five new arrivals: Djibril Soumaré (loan from Braga), Mihail Polendakov (Septemvri Sofia), Ehije Ukaki (Botev Plovdiv), Tyler Bindon (loan from Nottingham Forest) and Louie Barry (loan from Aston Villa).

“It is a genuine privilege to join Sheffield United, and I am truly eager to arrive in England and challenge myself” said Soumaré on his loan move. Departures include Kieffer Moore (Wrexham) and Anel Ahmedhodžić (Feyenoord).
