Morning Leeds-in for 19 February: Reinforcements on their way as Brown, Dallas, & Berardi play for U23s

Gaetano Berardi, Stuart Dallas, and Izzy Brown all played until halftime of the U23 match against Bolton Wanderers, meaning that all of them are nearing match fitness.

While Izzy Brown has yet to make his Leeds debut, Berardi and Dallas are inching ever closer to a return to the first team.

With Roofe going down injured, Leeds will need to rely even more on the players already at the club, and having Brown make his debut, along with the return of Berardi and Dallas, should cushion the blow that missing Roofe will have.

On to the links.
