Leeds striker Robbie Keane ‘‘has a chance’’ of playing in Sunday’s Yorkshire derby against Bradford at Elland Road according to manager David O’Leary.

Keane damaged his ankle in last Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Arsenal, but if passed fit will again step in for Alan Smith.

David Batty serves the second of a three-match suspension, with Eirik Bakke again the likely candidate to take over in midfield.

Team (from): Martyn, Kelly, Harte, Dacourt, Woodgate, Keane, Viduka, Kewell, Bowyer, McPhail, Wilcox, Smith, Mills, Bakke, Matteo, Burns, Maybury, Ferdinand, Robinson.
