Palace skipper McCarthy confirms Sheffield Utd return

Crystal Palace defender Paddy McCarthy has confirmed he's returning on-loan to Sheffield United.

McCarthy looks set to return to Bramall Lane up until the end of the year.

The Palace man told the Croydon Advertiser: "As far as I know I'm set to go back up there this week and play in the game against Doncaster Rovers.

"My fitness is perfect. The first couple of games, it took me a while but the more I play, the better I feel and the easier it is to recover.

"I played five game consecutively for them with no problems. It's about getting back into it and I'm enjoying playing week in, week out.

"There is a lot of quality in the league, especially at Sheffield United. They do things properly and play the right way.

"They looked after me fantastically and I'm looking forward to getting back up there this week for another deal up until January.

"That's the plan and we'll take it from there."
