Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the news that Pontus Jansson is available for the match against Sheffield United this weekend.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side will take on United away from home at Bramall Lane in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

Leeds head coach Bielsa has told Leeds Live that Jansson is fully fit and is available for the derby against the Blades.

Bielsa told Leeds Live about Jansson: “We think he will be available and ready to play. I take precautions, but we think he will be available.”

The Sweden international central defender has been on the sidelines since Leeds’ 4-1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion in the Championship earlier this month.

The 27-year-old is one of the best central defenders in the Championship and is a key figure in the current Leeds team.

Jansson initially joined Leeds on loan from Italian side Torino in the summer of 2016 before making the move permanent in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by The Yorkshire Evening Post to be worth £3.5 million.

Leeds fans are delighted to have the former Malmo FF star available for the match against United this weekend.
