Brewster seemed to have come out the other side of a difficult settling in period at Bramall Lane before his injury, if he can return to the form that he showed prior to it then the 21-year-old will add crucial depth in the Blades' distant play-off push.

The Verdict

Billy Sharp continues to be the Blades' most impressive striker this season, taking the armband at 35 and setting a brilliant example to the likes of Brewster of what can be achieved at the club.

David McGoldrick has also chipped in with some valuable goal contributions but the real magic comes from Morgan Gibbs-White and Iliman Ndiaye operating just behind.

Heckingbottom has shown a clear desire to hand opportunities to younger players in the second half of the season and Brewster certainly falls into that category.

In some areas of the pitch the future looks particularly bright at Bramall Lane, with Daniel Jebbison ready to supplement the attacking options in the coming years, there is the potential firepower already at the club for supporters to be feeling optimistic about a Premier League return.
