Leeds United vs Hull City - Late fitness test for Sol Bamba

Posted Friday, December 04, 2015 by PA

Leeds skipper Sol Bamba will have a late fitness test ahead of the home game against Hull.

Centre-half Bamba has missed the last two games due to a fractured toe but is hoping to be included in head coach Steve Evans' plans.

Fellow defender Gaetano Berardi sits out the the second game of his two-match ban so Scott Wootton is expected to continue, while Evans confirmed he will make "two or three" changes as Leeds bid to bounce back from two straight defeats.

Recent loan signing Liam Bridcutt is likely to make his home debut after starting in last week's defeat at QPR with young goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell on the bench again.

Hull boss Steve Bruce is expected to make wholesale changes again following the midweek Capital One Cup defeat at Manchester City.

Bruce made seven changes on Tuesday night and goalkeeper Allan McGregor, midfielders Tom Huddlestone, Shaun Maloney, Mohamed Diame and Sam Clucas, plus striker Abel Hernandez could all return.

Andrew Robertson was back in the starting line-up after suspension and is likely to continue, but fellow defender Michael Dawson (hamstring) is still out.

Winger Robert Snodgrass will be in contention to face his former club. He stepped off the bench again in midweek as he works his way back from a dislocated knee.
