Leeds resume their Championship campaign this weekend with a home clash against Burton Albion, and one of the crucial selection decisions facing Thomas Christiansen could well come at left-back.

The Yorkshire Evening Post has reported that Gaetano Berardi is now back in training having not played for the Whites since the opening day of the season.

Berardi started the clash at Bolton, but lasted little more than half an hour of the 3-2 victory as he suffered a dislocated shoulder.

The Yorkshire Evening Post does not suggest whether he is actually in contention to feature against the Brewers, but if he is fully fit, it could certainly be argued that he should not necessarily come back into the team.

Vurnon Anita has excelled since arriving at Elland Road from Newcastle in the summer, and has looked extremely impressive when Christiansen has deployed him at left-back.

Meanwhile, it cannot be forgotten that Cameron Borthwick-Jackson – who joined in the summer on loan from Manchester United – also deserves to be considered, having done well on his debut earlier in the campaign.

So if Berardi is fit to play, Christiansen arguably has three front-line options to pick from for the clash against Burton. But who gets your pick if the Swiss is available?
