Leeds boss says duo have settled and are as ready as any other player.
Leeds United head coach Garry Monk says new signings Mo Barrow and Alfonso Pedraza are ready to go this weekend.
Speaking at his weekly press conference broadcast by Radio Yorkshire, Monk says the duo have vindicated his decision to sign them by settling in so well with the squad.

Monk says nobody at the club is put out by their arrival as they see the new additions as vital reinforcements for their common goal of attempting to win promotion.
Both players are under consideration for selection this weekend against Cardiff City at Elland Road, with Monk stating that they are fully up to speed.
He said: “They have caused no problems whatsoever, been good, integrated into the group really well.
“Of course when we analyse players bringing them in, we try to take out the risk, to see how they can fit into a group as they have.
“They’ll be as ready as the others for the rest of the season. We wanted to come out of the window with more strength, more options, the group realise that, everyone fully supports them and its for the best of the club.”

Both players were used as substitutes in Leeds loss to Huddersfield last weekend, with Pedraza coming on for Souleymane Doukara in the 62nd minute and Barrow replacing Stuart Dallas in the 77th.
With Hadi Sacko in the mix too, Leeds have good competition on the wing, the best in the Cellino era at the club, and will be disappointed with anything less than a win at home to Cardiff City this weekend.
