Leeds United vs Sheffield Wed. - As you were for Leeds ahead of Sheffield clash

Leeds boss Paul Heckingbottom is expected to choose from an unchanged squad for the home game against Sheffield Wednesday.

Heckingbottom has no new injury or suspension problems following last week’s draw at Reading but none of his injured players will return to contention in time.

Centre-half Liam Cooper (dead leg), forward Kemar Roofe (calf) and goalkeeper Andy Lonergan (neck) all remain sidelined.

Luke Ayling and Conor Shaughnessy (both ankle) are long-term absentees.

Sheffield Wednesday have been dealt another injury blow, with midfielder Sean Clare ruled out for the rest of the season.

Clare joined the Owls’ extensive list of absentees after sustaining an ankle injury in last week’s home draw against Bolton.

Kieran Lee (hip) and Keiren Westwood (groin) remain sidelined, but defender Joost van Aken (hamstring), plus midfield pair Sam Hutchinson (hernia) and Barry Bannan (hip) could return to contention.

Striker Fernando Forestieri (knee) is still out, but is hoping to return to full training on Friday and midfielder Marco Matias (knee) is also edging closer to a return to action.
