Huge injury boost for Leeds United ahead of Sheffield Wednesday clash

Marcelo Bielsa has confirmed that both Liam Cooper and Jamie Shackleton are 'well' and available for the game against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.

Cooper and Shackleton picked up injuries in the 1-0 win against West Brom earlier this month. Cooper will be expected to partner up with Ben White at the back. Gaetano Berardi had been filling in for the injured captain in recent game.

Pablo Hernandez and Adam Forshaw remain sidelined for the Whites but Bielsa described Hernandez' condition as 'improving'.

"He is close to coming back for us", the Argentine added.

The midfielder hasn't featured for the Whites since the draw at home to Derby County last month.

Now he will miss the trip to Hillsbrough to face Garry Monk's Sheffield Wednesday with a hamstring problem picked up in a run out for the under 23's last week.
