Leeds United will need to call on Gaetano Berardi.

Leeds United have confirmed that Pontus Jansson faces a three week spell on the sidelines.

This blow is tempered by the fact there is now a two week international break.

Jansson will still miss the visit of Millwall through injury on March 30.

Leeds are fortunate that they have a top quality replacement ready.

Gaetano Berardi began the season in central defence with Jansson still returning to fitness from the World Cup.

Berardi is a fan favourite at Leeds due to his committed style and the clash with Millwall should be the ideal match for him to return in.

Millwall are a physical team and Leeds are lucky to have a player like Berardi available rather than having to throw in a youngster.
