And the Republic of Ireland defender said, of Chris Wilder: “The manager always drills into us that we want to win every game we play, and pre-season is no different.

“It’s all about getting back fit and getting the levels back, but we also want to win and put a good performance.

“All the lads are looking forward to the game; to getting out there and doing what we love.

“Hopefully, we can put on a display for the fans that have travelled out here to support us.”
