da bet esporte: According to Phil Hay and Joe Urquhart on Inside Elland Road, via This Is Futbol, Leeds left-back Barry Douglas is back in training.
da poker: This will come as huge news for Leeds, who have just come from their second loss in the Championship this season against Blackburn. Marcelo Bielsa’s men have now slumped to fourth place in the league and will want to turn things around very quickly.
The Whites have only managed one win now in their past five games, and cannot afford to let their early season dominance subside. The return of Douglas, therefore, will be a very encouraging sign for all supporters.
Since injuring himself against Hull at the beginning of the month, Leeds have gone on to drop five of a possible six points in the absence of the Scotland international. While Brentford at home and Blackburn away are not the easiest of fixtures, a team that are chasing promotion should seek to win those matches. These two games perfectly exemplify how much the club need Douglas back as fast as possible.
The full-back was in sensational form before picking up his injury, and was one of the club’s key players at the early stages of the season.
The Peacocks face bottom of the table Ipswich at Elland Road tomorrow, a game that they simply must win. It seems unlikely that Douglas will be back for that match, particularly as it may not be worth risking him, but he may be ready to return for Saturday’s visit from ninth place Nottingham Forest.
