Phil Hay confirmed in the Yorkshire Evening Post that Leeds United centre-back Pontus Jansson could unexpectedly be fit to face Millwall at Elland Road on Saturday, and Whites fans were quick to react to the linked story on Twitter.
The 28-year-old was ruled out for three weeks by leedsunited.com little over seven days ago, but Hay says the Sweden international has made a swift recovery and is now battling to be involved against the Lions.
The presence of the 6 ft 4 defender in the side in what is sure to be a feisty encounter against Neil Harris’ men would certainly be a huge boost, with the hosts needing a reaction following their 1-0 defeat to automatic promotion rivals Sheffield United at home last time out.
There is no doubt that the Elland Road faithful are delighted that they could have the influential figure available with one individual saying it “would be massive to have his height”, while plenty of others were keen to praise head of medicine and performance Rob Price for the job he is doing.
It would certainly be brilliant if he manages to pull off another early return for a United player, and one supporter cheekily asked “can we get Rob Price to sort out Brexit?”
