Leeds United boss Daniel Farke was waiting to speak to Sam Byram before making a decision on the left-back's availability to face Bristol City on Saturday.
Farke will definitely be without his back-up option thanks to the shoulder injury Jamie Shackleton is struggling with and Junior Firpo has not yet returned to team training after suffering hip pain. Firpo did recover from a pre-season knee injury but the latest set-back is expected to keep him out of full training until after the international break.
'I want to talk to Sam this afternoon to see if he feels ready and fresh. I would like to play him again.' Farke admits that the absence of Byram would present a tricky situation. 'There's not an unbelievable amount of numbers but I'm quite sure we'll send out 11 players on the pitch,' he said. 'To change a bit the formation maybe, to play a player who is not used to play full-back - probably we'll have to go for such an option.
