Pontus Jansson back for Leeds
Posted Friday, October 26, 2018 by PA
Leeds defender Pontus Jansson will return to contention for his side’s home game against Nottingham Forest.
Jansson sat out the midweek win against Ipswich due to a one-game ban and watched from the stands despite the recent birth of his baby daughter.
Fellow defender Gaetano Berardi has been ruled out due to a hamstring problem sustained on Wednesday night and left-back Barry Douglas (hamstring) is still unavailable.
Midfielders Adam Forshaw and Stuart Dallas and left-back Tom Pearce are among those pushing for starts.
Nottingham Forest boss Aitor Karanka must decide whether to stick with the same side that started in their midweek win at Bolton.
Karanka has no new injury issues, but made four changes on Wednesday night and has several selection dilemmas.
Skipper Danny Fox missed out due to a knock and will be assessed, while midfield pair Ben Osborn and Matty Cash are both pushing for recalls after stepping off the bench against Bolton.
Centre-half Michael Dawson took over the captain’s armband in Fox’s absence and is expected to retain his place ahead of Michael Hefele.
