Caleb Ekuban is Leeds Unitedâs only absentee for this weekendâs Sky Bet Championship clash with Reading at Elland Road, reports the BBCâs, Adam Pope.
Thomas Christiansen has confirmed that Ekuban will be the only member of his Leeds squad unavailable for selection this weekend, although the striker is edging closer to a return to fitness.
Ekuban fractured his foot in Leedsâ victory over Sunderland in August, and has not featured for the Whites since that afternoon.
Christiansen could confirm that Ekuban had started to run on his foot again, as he enters the final stages of his recovery process.
Leedsâ otherwise full bill of health means that both Eunan OâKane and Pontus Jansson are set to feature against Reading on Saturday, despite fears about their fitness.
OâKaneâs fitness was questioned by his national coach, Martin OâNeill last week, whilst Leeds were forced to pull Jansson out of Swedenâs squad due to an injury picked up against Sheffield Wednesday prior to the international break.
Leeds enter Saturdayâs clash with Reading in fifth, having picked up just one victory in their last four Championship fixtures.
Despite a poor recent run, Christiansenâs side remain unbeaten at Elland Road.
The Verdict
Ekuban appears to be making progress on his return from injury, which can only be seen as a good thing for Christiansen and Leeds.
However, more important is the availability of OâKane and Jansson, who will be key to Leeds picking up a positive result against Reading on Saturday.
Both have played a major role so far this season for Leeds, and if they are at their best on Saturday, it will give Christiansenâs forward thinking players an excellent platform to cause the Royals problems.
