Morning Leeds-in for 20 December: Leeds captain Liam Cooper back training, will a return be soon?

Well, this is actually some good news from Thorp Arch.

The club confirmed that Liam Cooper is back in training, meaning that a return to the pitch shouldn’t be too far away for the captain. Leeds will need him to be back soon, with the club still having a small crisis in the back at the present moment. He probably won’t be back for this weekend’s match against Aston Villa, but perhaps Boxing Day?

On to the links.
