Leeds early team news and fitness boost ahead of Manchester United fixture

Leeds United have been handed an injury boost ahead of their pre-season opener against Manchester United next week. The fierce rivals are set to lock horns again when they both kickstart their respective summer schedules with a friendly match in Oslo on Wednesday.

It could be the first time Mason Mount puts on a United shirt, and it is also set to be a memorable day for the Yorkshire side as new manager Daniel Farke takes charge of his first match.

Farke was appointed as the club's new manager on Tuesday and will be hoping to get a real insight into his squad when they face their fierce rivals.

Luis Sinisterra could be in line to make his return from injury after he suffered ankle ligament damage in their 1-1 draw with Leicester back in April, along with a whole host of first-team players.

Leeds will welcome back senior players who were involved in international duty on Monday, meaning the likes of Daniel James, Max Wober, Rasmus Kristensen and Kristoffer Klaesson could all feature in Oslo.

Brenden Aaronson could miss out on the match ahead of an expected loan move to Union Berlin while Robin Koch and Diego Llorente have already left the Yorkshire club on loan.

Weston McKennie has returned to Juventus following his Elland Road loan last season, while Tyler Roberts was sold to Birmingham earlier in the window. Adam Forshaw and Joel Robles were both released following their relegation to the Championship.

Jack Harrison and Tyler Adams are both stepping up their respective injury returns, though they are not thought to be match-fit until the latter stages of the summer.
