Sheffield United's home game with Hull City - due to take place tomorrow - has been called off.

In a tweet Sheffield United said:

"Unfortunately, United’s Championship fixture against Hull City, scheduled for Wednesday 29 December 2021, has been postponed.

"Hull City informed the EFL that it would be unable to fulfil the fixture at Bramall Lane due to a number of positive COVID-19 cases in their squad".

Hull City provided a statement on their website:

"The club has worked hard to ensure it has been able to play the game.

"However, taking into account the injuries and positive Covid-19 cases in the squad, we do not have the required numbers for the match to take place.

"A new date for the trip to Bramall Lane will be announced in due course.

"All tickets purchased for the match will remain valid for the rearranged game. Details of how supporters can claim a refund will be confirmed shortly.

"We apologise again for the disappointment and disruption caused".
