Sheffield United will be without Gary Speed, Gary Naysmith and Michael Tonge for the FA Cup tie against Bolton at The Reebok.Loan signing Speed, who made his Blades debut in the goalless draw at Wolves on New Year's Day, is not eligible to play against his parent club.

Skipper Naysmith has been ruled out due to a shoulder injury and midfielder Tonge serves a one-game ban after collecting five yellow cards.

Blades manager Bryan Robson will be forced to make changes, with midfielder Lee Hendrie expected to make his first start since the defeat at Bristol City in early October.

Fellow midfielders Nick Montgomery, David Carney, Keith Gillespie and Stephen Quinn are all in contention, but central defender Chris Morgan remains sidelined with an ankle problem.
