Leeds United boss is buoyant about injuries.
Leeds United boss Thomas Christiansen has said he will have nearly everybody available for selection at the weekend.
A spate of defensive injuries appear to have cleared up and he will have several options to choose from.
Last night against Burnley, Leeds used a makeshift centre-back pairing of Conor Shaughnessy and Luke Ayling.
Pontus Jansson had gone off injured at the weekend against Millwall and he was not considered for selection last night, left at home along with Matthew Pennington and Liam Cooper.
Christiansen told BBC Radio Leeds: “Jansson is doing well. I will have all in probably for the game on Saturday, only Caleb Ekuban will be out.”
Ekuban is not expected back until later this year after suffering a foot injury just a week into the new season.
Everton loanee Pennington had a highly impressive debut on the first day of the season but has not featured since.
Pontus Jansson and Liam Cooper are likely to be Christiansen’s first choice, as if Pennington was really at 100 per cent, perhaps the manager would have chosen to test him out against Burnley.
Leeds host Ipswich Town at Elland Road this weekend as they bid to remain top of the Championship table.
