Leeds United will face Norwich City at Carrow Road in the Championship today.
Leeds will return to action in a few hours’ time when they take on Norwich away from home at Carrow Road in the Championship.
The West Yorkshire outfit will head into the match against the Canaries on the back of a 2-2 draw with Swansea City away from home at the Liberty Stadium in the league.
Jansson – who is hugely popular among the Elland Road faithful – could feature for Leeds against Norwich this afternoon, according to Leeds Live, with the 27-year-old central defender having recovered from his back problem.
Leeds Live has claimed that the Sweden international has returned to full training, and former Leeds striker Whelan has outlined the importance of the central defender starting against Norwich.
Whelan said on The Noel Whelan Show on BBC Radio Leeds on Friday evening (6:12pm, August 24, 2018) about Jansson: “As much as we did well – we came away from Swansea with a very, very good point without I actually think playing to the standards that we know we can do from what we have seen in the beginning of the season, it’s a good point to come away with – we did struggle aerially.
“That’s my problem. We struggled there. Maybe we need that little bit more strength and little bit more height for corners against and set pieces against, and also for in attacking areas.”
Strong start
Leeds have made a strong start to the season and are unbeaten in their opening four Championship matches.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side will fancy their chances of picking up all three points against Norwich at Carrow Road in the league this afternoon.
