Leeds United issue injury updates over Luke Ayling and Gaetano Berardi

The pair have been sidelined by long-term injuries in recent months and have been continuing their rehab with the medical department at Thorp Arch.

Swiss defender Berardi picked up a hamstring issue against Ipswich Town in late October and was ruled out initially until February, while fellow right-back Ayling is expected to return in the New Year following a knee injury against Nottingham Forest in November.
