Leeds United team news: Pontus Jansson and Hadi Sacko to return? Predicted XI to face Nottingham Forest
Leeds United will be boosted by the return of Pontus Jansson and Hadi Sacko when they host Nottingham Forest in the Championship.
Swedish centre-back Jansson, a firm fans' favourite at Elland Road, was serving his second suspension of the season after receiving his 10th booking in the FA Cup win over Cambridge.
Should he be selected by Garry Monk, it will be his 22nd appearance for the Whites this term, triggering the option for Leeds to turn his loan permanent for a reported £3.5million fee from Torino.
Sacko, meanwhile, has not played since January 2nd after picking up a knock v Rotherham, and the French winger will be a welcome return for Monk as he has options to contend with.
The Leeds boss will be hoping to see his side bounce back from the weekend defeat at Barnsley. They face a 19th-placed Forest side who have won just one of their eight matches - but are currently unbeaten in their last two under caretaker boss Gary Brazil.
Left-back Charlie Taylor is still out with an Achilles problem, so Gaetano Berardi is expected to continue in his absence.
Will Monk select Sacko and Jansson to start?
