Leeds keeper Shane Higgs looks set to return for the reserves next week after being out of action since October.
A thigh injury has kept the keeper out of the side after he started the season as the number one but he is set to return in the reserve game against Lincoln City at Elland Road next Wednesday.
Boss Simon Grayson told the club's official site: "Shane is getting closer and closer and all being well he will play in the reserves next week.
"
He's been out a long time and it's been a frustrating time for him, but he's been doing ball work and we will see how he goes."
