Leeds United winger Ezgjan Alioski could have a prominent role to play this weekend against Bristol City.

Alioski is returning to the club full of confidence after a successful international break.

A week ago, Alioski was trending in the wrong direction, appearing to be an injury concern.

Macedonian newspaper Ekipa, reported that Alioski missed his first international training session with Macedonia ahead of their UEFA Nations League fixtures.

This came shortly after Pontus Jansson was sent home early from Sweden’s camp as a precaution.

Fortunately it appears Alioski shook off his fitness troubles, going on to play a key role for his country.

The 26-year-old played at left-back and provided two assists in Macedonia’s 4-1 victory over Gibraltar.

So instead of turning up back at Leeds as a doubt for this weekend, Alioski returns fully fit and with a big smile on his face – the best case scenario.

The winger played a starring role in a 3-0 away win over Bristol City a year ago and will want to make an impact against the Robins once again.

He has the faith of manager Marcelo Bielsa, and Alioski needs to hit the ground running upon his return.
