Leeds midfielder Eirik Bakke is again likely to be absent for another crunch relegation showdown against Blackburn at Ewood Park.

It had been hoped the Norway international would return in Monday’s 3-2 victory over Leicester at Elland Road following a five-week absence with a torn thigh muscle injury.

Although back in full training at the end of last week, Bakke insisted he was not ready to make his comeback and is again a doubt.

Team (from): Robinson, Kelly, Harte, Radebe, Camara, Duberry, Viduka, Pennant, McPhail, Smith, Seth Johnson, Matteo, Caldwell, Olembe, Lennon, Domi, Richardson, Kilgallon, Milner, Simon Johnson, Carson.
