The Blades skipper received his fifth yellow card of the season in his side's home defeat to Newcastle earlier this week and will miss out on a potentially explosive encounter with Barnsley striker Iain Hume next Monday.[LNB]Blackwell said: "It's nonsense to suggest Chris got booked so he would miss the Barnsley game.[LNB]"Nothing could be further from the truth. Chris, as a former Barnsley player, was desperate to play there."[LNB]Morgan, who spent six years at hometown club Barnsley before switching to Sheffield United in 2003, was involved in an incident that left Hume with a fractured skull and internal bleeding during last season's match between the two sides at Oakwell in November.[LNB]Morgan, who has always maintained his innocence, claimed the impact was accidental, but Hume, who made his comeback for Barnsley in August this year, is still considering legal action.[LNB][LNB][LNB]
