Leeds defender is available this weekend.
Liam Cooper is available this weekend for Leeds United, he has confirmed.
Cooper told the Yorkshire Evening Post yesterday he is available and can’t wait to be back involved.
Leeds could have done with Cooper last weekend against Cardiff when they let a three goal lead slip to draw 3-3.
Cooper has not featured since Leeds’ win over Middlesbrough at the end of November.
The club captain had played a crucial role in Leeds’ excellent start to the season and strong defensive record.
Getting him back this weekend is perfectly timed ahead of the run of festive fixtures.
Leeds travel to Fulham who have Aleksandr Mitrovic in fine form and Cooper will have a big task to keep him quiet.
Gaetano Berardi is expected to drop out of the starting XI with Cooper renewing his partnership with Brighton loanee Ben White.
