Leeds United defender is back training.
Leeds United have a significant boost with club captain Liam Cooper returning to training.
The club posted a video on their twitter feed of Cooper participating in individual drills.
The update has been welcomely received by Leeds fans.
The Whites sit top of the table, having managed to win their last five games in a row.
Kalvin Phillips has dropped into defence from midfield, with youngster Aapo Halme also stepping up.
Gaetano Berardi remains sidelined with injury.
Cooper sustained a knee injury in the win over Sheffield United.
No return date was offered, but it was expected that Cooper would not feature in 2019.
Leeds are likely to remain cautious with the defender due to their recent run of form.
The next fixture is a big Championship clash against Aston Villa at the weekend.
Cooper will have to prove his fitness and sharpness in the coming days for manager Marcelo Bielsa to consider him for selection.
