Pontus Jansson has dropped a further hint he will be available for Leeds United's trip to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, despite doubts.

According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Jansson is facing 'an uncertain 48 hours', as he awaits the outcome of an FA charge over comments he made after Leeds' 1-1 draw with Brentford earlier this month, and the birth of his child.

 

But posting on his Instagram story on Thursday morning, the Swedish defender wrote: "Saturday 12:30 (eyes emoji)".

Leeds' Ewood Park kick-off time is in fact half an hour earlier than that mentioned by Jansson, however it would be reasonable to assume that is what the 27-year-old is referring to.

The YEP reports that Jansson is unlikely to receive anything more than a fine for his remarks, although his daughter's arrival could still affect his involvement at Blackburn.
