Marcelo Bielsa handed Leeds United fitness boost ahead of Leicester City clash but any of 22 could start

Cooper picked up a groin injury on international duty with Scotland earlier this month but still looked set to return to the Whites fold when named in the starting XI for the recent Premier League hosting of Wolves.

Cooper then experienced problems in the warm-up and had to be replaced by Pascal Struijk and the skipper was again forced to miss last weekend's clash at Aston Villa which resulted in a fine 3-0 victory as Luke Ayling partnered Robin Koch at centre back with Struijk taking over from the injured Kalvin Phillips in midfield.
