Pontus Jansson in contention to face old club Leeds
Posted Tuesday, February 11, 2020 by PA
Brentford boss Thomas Frank is optimistic that captain Pontus Jansson will be back in time to face his former club Leeds on Tuesday evening.
The Sweden international has been missing with a hip injury for the past month but has resumed training.
Frank otherwise has no injury worries as the Bees look to overhaul Leeds in the battle for automatic promotion.
New signings Shandon Baptiste and Tariqe Fosu continue to await their debuts, having been unused substitutes for Saturday’s win over Middlesbrough.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has confirmed midfielder Kalvin Phillips will go straight back into his starting line-up following suspension.
Fellow midfielder Tyler Roberts has been ruled out after sustaining a calf injury in Saturday’s defeat at Nottingham Forest.
Bielsa has no new injury or suspension worries, but Adam Forshaw remains sidelined due to a long-term hip problem.
Recent loan signing Jean-Kevin Augustin is hoping to feature again after making his debut off the bench at the weekend.
