Johnson fitness boost for Leeds

Leeds caretaker-manager Eddie Gray is hopeful midfielder Seth Johnson will be fit for Tuesday’s clash with Everton at Elland Road.

Johnson was stretchered off early in the second half of Saturday’s 2-1 win at Blackburn with a knee injury, and his prospects looked grim, however Gray commented: “I think he is going to be okay.”

Gray will also check on the fitness of goalkeeper Paul Robinson, who played at Ewood Park despite missing the previous few days’ training with a stomach bug, as well as that of Didier Domi who missed the Rovers game with a groin strain.

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