Leeds United central defender Liam Cooper has told the club’s official Twitter page that he does not know if he will start against Queens Park Rangers this weekend.

Cooper has recovered from his injury and is back in contention for a place in the Leeds starting lineup against QPR at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

The 28-year-old central defender has suggested that he does not know if he will be included in the starting lineup against Rangers.

Cooper told Leeds’s official Twitter page when asked if he will start against QPR: “No, no, I’ve not got a clue. The manager will pick his team and I’m sure we’ll have more of an idea tomorrow of what the team will be.

“Obviously, there’s a couple of knocks from the heavy schedule over the last couple of weeks but I’m sure we’ll know more tomorrow as a team and we’ll be working on getting a win on Saturday.”

Starting against QPR

Cooper has established himself as one of the best and most important players in Marcelo Bielsa’s side, and his return to full fitness is certainly a boost to Leeds’s chances of winning against QPR.

Rangers are a good team who are doing well in the Championship this season, and a player of the Scotland international’s experience and quality will certainly enhance the Whites’ chances of picking up all three points against Mark Warburton’s side at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.
