Charlie Taylor has not played for Leeds United since December, after picking up an injury.
Garry Monk has told the Yorkshire Evening Post that he expects Leeds United defender Charlie Taylor to return to training later this week.
Taylor has not played for Leeds since way back in December, after failing to recover from an Achilles problem.
It was initially expected that Taylor would not be out for long, but the left-back has found it difficult to shake off his injury complaint.
Taylor is still set to miss Leeds’ match against Ipswich Town later this evening, but Monk expects the defender to return to training in the near future.
“We’re expecting him to be back out on the pitches by the end of next week,” Monk said. “That’ll be a boost for him and for everyone.”
Taylor’s return for Leeds will be a major boost for Monk’s side, as he is so important to their team.
The 22-year-old is considered to be one of Leeds’ top talents, and he should strengthen their defence.

The Whites have still been able to cope well with Taylor’s absence, and currently sit in fifth place in the Championship table.
If Taylor does return to training later this week, he could be set to feature in Leeds’ match against Sheffield Wednesday in two weekends’ time.
