Leeds United are set to welcome players back from injuries.

Leeds United will be making changes for their first fixture after the international break, some by choice, others enforced.

The good news is Leeds will reportedly welcome Kemar Roofe and Pablo Hernandez back from injury, report Leeds Live.

The duo have missed more than a month of action after prolific starts to the season.

Getting the pair back for this crucial away game is a major boost.

Their returns would see Tyler Roberts drop out up front and play from the bench, and Jack Harrison’s place go to Hernandez.

Leeds v Blackburn early

At the back

Leeds will be forced to make changes at full-back for this fixture.

Luke Ayling is suspended at right-back for one game and Gaetano Berardi is available to slot in after his recovery from injury.

At left-back Stuart Dallas will be expected to cover Barry Douglas, who may not recover from his muscle injury in time to start at Ewood Park.

Leeds are currently in third place ahead of this fixture, with Blackburn in 10th place, just five points back.
