Tonge could figure for Blades

Sheffield United midfielder Michael Tonge is back in contention for tomorrow’s Barclays Premiership clash with Wigan at the JJB Stadium.

Tonge, out for the last seven weeks with an ankle injury, played more than an hour of a behind-closed-doors friendly against Nottingham Forest earlier this week as part of his rehabilitation.

Fellow midfielder Mikele Leigertwood is still sidelined with an ankle injury sustained in the win at Watford over a fortnight ago.

Provisional squad: Kenny, Bromby, Morgan, Jagielka, Hulse, A Quinn, S Quinn, Kazim-Richards, Kozluk, Gillespie, Geary, Nade, Webber, Montgomery, Law, Bennett, Short, Kabba, Tonge, Armstrong.
