Sheffield United vs Nottingham Forest: Anel Ahmedhodžić’s to Miss a Few Games?

Sheffield United defender Anel Ahmedhodžić was sent off in their match against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. In the sixth minute of added time, the Bosnian international was shown a second yellow for a foul on Nicolas Dominguez and subsequently given the marching orders with a red.

He is now set to miss their penultimate league game against Everton next weekend.

Ahmedhodzic first went into the books in the 75th minute when he caught Callum Hudson-Odoi with a late challenge. Deep into the stoppage time, the 25-year-old was guilty of another ill-timed tackle, this time on Dominguez, leaving the referee with no chance to brandish a second yellow, and then a red.

Sheffield United were down 10-men for the final seconds of the match, but the damage was already done, with Nottingham leading 3-1 at the Bramall Lane.

Sheffield United back in Championship

Sheffield United made a limp return to the Premier League, winning only thrice all season while losing a mammoth 26 times. The Blades’ return to the Championship was confirmed a few weeks ago when their relegation was confirmed. With only 16 points amassed, this Sheffield will go down in history as one of the worst in recent history.
