Leeds may very well be without skipper Lee Peltier for that derby clash with Sheffield Wednesday, leaving caretaker boss Neil Redfearn that has a selection headache. Peltier sustained an ankle injury within the closing stages of last week's home defeat to Charlton and is a significant doubt, while fellow central defender Tom Lees will sit the final game of his three-match ban.
That leaves Redfearn in short supply of options at centre-half, with midfielder Rudy Austin supposed to start alongside Jason Pearce. Leeds is likewise without midfielder Michael Brown, who starts a 2-match ban after receiving his 10th booking from the season at Charlton. Redfearn lacks the other new injury or suspension worries, while strikers El-Hadji Diouf and Dominic Poleon, back from his loan spell at Sheffield United, are pushing for recalls.
Leeds, five points above the relegation zone, are hoping to protect yourself from a fifth straight defeat. Sheffield Wednesday will be minus the versatile Danny Pugh as they cannot play against his parent club. Midfielder Pugh, on loan at Hillsborough since January, played at left-within the midweek win at Millwall. He could be replaced in the scratch-up by Reda Johnson.
Johnson was rested in midweek as he is constantly on the manage an ongoing foot problem, while manager Dave Jones could also recall on-loan Bolton midfielder Stuart Holden and winger Jermaine Johnson, who played to the final 30 minutes at Millwall.
Jones, having no new injury or suspension worries, must decide if they should recall the 3 with the derby clash, even though the likes of midfield pair Rhys McCabe and Jose Semedo and defenders Joe Mattock and Martin Taylor are in contention. The Owls, six points above the relegation zone, have won four with their last six matches and virtually assured themselves of npower Championship football next season with victory on Tuesday night.
