No new selection issues for injury-hit Leeds ahead of Preston clash

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa will choose from an unchanged squad for the home game against Preston.

Bielsa continues to be hindered by the absence of several key players, with main strikers Patrick Bamford and Kemar Roofe, plus playmaker Pablo Hernandez still sidelined.

Bamford is out until after Christmas due to knee ligament damage, while Roofe (calf) and Hernandez (hamstring) are expected to return later this month.

Gaetano Berardi (knee) and Jamie Shackleton (ankle) are still out, but midfielder Adam Forshaw (foot) is expected to feature again after making his first appearance of the season off the bench at Millwall.

Preston are hoping midfielder Alan Browne can recover from a calf injury in time for the trip to Elland Road.

Browne was withdrawn from the Republic of Ireland squad last week and missed Saturday’s home defeat to Reading, but has returned to training and will be assessed.

Ryan Ledson serves the final game of his three-match ban and fellow midfielder Ben Pearson sits out the second of his three-match suspension.

Calum Woods, Sean Maguire (both hamstring) and striker Billy Bodin (knee) remain sidelined.
