Leeds United vs Rotherham United - Leeds hoping for Alex Mowatt boost for Rotherham game

Leeds midfielder Alex Mowatt is hoping to return to contention for the home FA Cup tie against Rotherham.

Mowatt has missed the last four matches due to a troublesome groin injury but returned to full training this week and head coach Steve Evans could include him in his plans.

Evans will rest several key players for the third-round clash with Chris Wood among them. The striker missed last weekend's home draw against MK Dons due to a hamstring strain and will not be risked.

Versatile defender Lewie Coyle, midfielders Kalvin Phillips and Tom Adeyemi, plus striker Lee Erwin could all feature as Leeds bid to make it past the third round for the first time in three years.

Rotherham have selection issues on Neil Redfearn's second return to Elland Road.

Skipper Lee Frecklington and on-loan defender Farrend Rawson both miss out with hamstring injuries while Leon Best (groin) and Stephen Kelly (calf) are no nearer returns.

Richard Wood is ineligible having played for Chesterfield earlier in the competition while Tony Andreu, a starter in the last three games, has returned to parent club Norwich at the end of his loan deal.

Loanees Grant Ward and Shay Facey have been given permission to play and Frazer Richardson is available after a bout of concussion.
