Sheffield United home game against Colchester postponed

United have had four players called up, which allows them, under Football Association regulations, to request the Bramall Lane match be postponed.

David Edgar has been asked to play in a World Cup qualifier for Canada while Che Adams and Louis Reed have been called up to England's Under-20 and Under-19 sides respectively.

Callum McFadzean has also been called up to Scotland's Under-21s side.

"United's Sky Bet League One clash with Colchester United, scheduled to take place on Saturday 5th September, has been postponed because of international call-ups," a statement on the Blades' website read.

A new date for the fixture is to be set next week.
