Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder believes Jack Grealish is "the best player in England" and is glad the Aston Villa midfielder will play no part in Wednesday's Premier League clash.
Grealish has missed Villa's last two matches with a leg injury and has been ruled out of the trip to bottom side Sheffield United.
The Villans won in the England international's absence against Leeds United last time out, but they have otherwise struggled without their star man available.
And Wilder, speaking shortly before Dean Smith confirmed Grealish will play no part at Bramall Lane, is pleased with the news.
