The two Leeds United strikers have had contrasting fortunes so far this season.
Leeds United signed Marcus Antonsson to score goals, but so far the Swede has only found the net once in the league and three times in all competitions.
That has not been a problem all the time Chris Wood has been scoring for fun at Elland Road, but following the news that the New Zealand international has flown back from international duty due to a knock, his fellow Leeds striker may be about to get the call.
Leeds are currently flying high in the Championship but there is still work to be done to secure their play-off place and the Whites cannot afford to drop points in the upcoming clash against Reading, with the Royals just one place and two points below them in the table.
Wood may be okay for the weekend clash but the Yorkshire Evening Post reports that Leeds face an anxious wait and assuming they are without their star striker, they may turn to Antonsson to justify the hype that accompanied his summer arrival.
The 25-year-old scored 25 goals in just 47 matches for former club Kalmar and if he finds the net a few times in Leeds’ promotion charge he could yet write himself into the club’s history books despite his shaky start.
