Coventry vs Sheffield United: Norman Bassette 'dark arts' provoke Anel Ahmedhodzic red Norman Bassette showed his Coventry team-mates that it was mission complete after he got Anel Ahmedhodzic sent off following a late tackle.
Disappointing debut season in PL Ahmedhodzic scored two goals and recorded one clean sheet in 31 appearances (29 starts) this past season.
Impact Ahmedhodzic was a mainstay in Sheffield United's historically poor defense, a defense which allowed a Premier League record 104 goals. As a result, he kept just one clean sheet although he put up solid numbers, recording 64 tackles, 34 interceptions, 134 clearances and 26 blocked shots. The 25-year-old will now head back down to the Championship, a competition where he recorded eight goal contributions and kept 16 clean sheets during the 2022-2023 campaign.

Impact Ahmedhodzic is now an option for the club's season finale against Tottenham on Sunday after missing out on the club's last match due to a suspension.

Breaks scoring drought Ahmedhodzic scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 5-1 loss versus Newcastle United.
Impact Ahmedhodzic opened the scoring for Sheffield United Saturday, but the goal proved to be a false dawn, as Sheffield United eventually fell 1-5 to Newcastle United. The goal was Ahmedhodzic's second of the campaign and first since Dec. He also contributed two tackles (zero won), two blocks, two interceptions and four clearances to the defensive effort.

No longer suspended Ahmedhodzic is an option for Sheffield's next match on Jan. 21 against West Ham after serving his one-match suspension.
Impact Ahmedhodzic is once again an option for the Blades, having served his one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation. The defender will hope to return to the starting XI immediately, as when available, he has yet to miss a start. He will look to remain an option for the rest of the season, as he has already missed six matches this season due to injuries and suspensions.

Picks up fifth yellow Ahmedhodzic will not be an option for Saturday's match against Manchester City, having picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Luton Town.
Impact Ahmedhodvic will be spending the club's next match on the sidelines due to yellow card accumulation. This is unfortunate for the defender, as he just returned from an injury in the club's last contest. While he is out, expect Auston Trusty to take over a starting role in the middle of the defense, with Max Lowe covering the left flank due to Trusty's move to center back. Ahmedhodvic will next be available on Jan. 21 against West Ham.

Starting against Luton Town Ahmedhodzic (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup to face Luton Town on Tuesday.
Impact Ahmedhodzic has been a regular starter for the Blades this season, and fortunately for him, the undisclosed problem that kept him out against Aston Villa was only minor, and he's back straight in the XI. Ahmedhodzic has started in all but one of his 13 Premier League appearances this season.
DECEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Missed villa match due to injury Ahmedhodzic was not an option in the Blades' last match against Aston Villa and is now in question for their Tuesday match against Luton Town, according to Danny Hall of The Star.
Impact Ahmedhodzic may be heading for another spell on the sidelines, having picked up an undisclosed injury that left him out against Aston Villa. The defender will hope the problem is only minor, as he has been a regular starter this season and already missed a four-match spell due to a hamstring injury. He could still get the nod against Luton on Tuesday, either in the starting XI or on the bench, but if he is not able to compete, expect Jack Robinson to claim the starting spot in the middle of the defense, just like he did against Villa.

Returns from injury Ahmedhodzic (hamstring) is in the squad to face Bournemouth on Saturday.
Impact Ahmedhodzic returns after missing out on Sheffield United's past four matches with the injury. The defender had started every match for the Blades prior to injury, but settles for a role on the bench Saturday.
NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pictured in training Ahmedhodzic (hamstring) was pictured in training Thursday ahead of Saturday's match against Bournemouth.
Impact Ahmedhodzic has been out since the last international break with this injury and will need to test his hamstring a few times in training before being given the go in the starting XI. While he opened the season as a regular, the Blades may have found something with a recent XI. That said, once fully fit, Ahmedhodzic is expected to find his way into the XI again with Auston Trusty possibly being the odd man out.

Not ready for Brighton clash Ahmedhodzic is not in the match day squad to face Brighton Sunday.

Doubtful for Sunday Ahmedhodzic (hamstring) will be doubtful for Sunday's match against Brighton, according to manager Paul Heckingbottom."(McBurnie and Ahmedhodzic) Potentially. Both out today. Touch...
Impact Ahmedhodzic could be in jeopardy of missing a fourth straight game as he is yet to fully recover from a hamstring injury. Manager Paul Heckingbottom seemed to be leaving towards not playing the defender, as they don't want to risk any further setbacks with half of their team already being injured. If he does return, it will most likely be as a bench role earning sometime late into the match despite being a normal starter before the injury, as they won't want to risk the Swedish player picking up another injury with the international break right around the corner.

Dealing with hamstring injury Ahmedhodzic is expected to be out for a few weeks due to a hamstring injury, Danny Hall of The Star reports.
Impact Some reports have suggested that Ahmedhodzic could be out until December, which would represent a significant blow for an injury-riddled Blades team that is struggling in the relegation race. The lack of options on defense should be a problem as well, meaning Auston Trusty and Jack Robinson should remain as starters at center-back.

Starting against Spurs Ahmedhodzic (hamstring) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Tottenham.
Impact Ahmedhodzic used the international break to recover from a nagging hamstring injury, and manager Paul Heckingbottom said he was fine during Thursday's press conference, so his presence in the lineup isn't surprising. He's been ever-present at center-back for the Blades this season, racking up 20 clearances, eight tackles and six interceptions across five starts.

Impact Ahmedhodzic sits second on the team in clearances behind John Egan (29) while leading the way with six blocks. Barring an injury, there is no reason to expect Ahmedhodzic to be dropped from the starting XI, so fantasy players can expect him to continue racking up defensive stats.

Impact Ahmedhodzic did a decent job in his EPL debut, putting up some nice numbers with the opposition dominating and trying to score all the time. If Palace could score just once despite all the pressure they applied, the center-back had a lot to do with that. Up next for Ahmedhodzic is Friday's visit to Nottingham Forest.
