Tammy Abraham set to hand Bristol City a fitness boost ahead of visit of Leeds

Scoring sensation Tammy Abraham is expected to be fit for Bristol City's Sky Bet Championship clash with Leeds at Ashton Gate.

The on-loan Chelsea teenager hobbled off with a dead leg after scoring his 10th goal of the season in Saturday's 4-0 win at Fulham.

Gary O'Neil will be assessed following a recent bout of illness, while fellow midfielder Korey Smith could come back into the reckoning.

Smith has made only one appearance this season following ankle surgery and has not featured in the Robins' last three matchday squads.

Leeds head coach Garry Monk will assess skipper Liam Bridcutt, who has missed the last three games due to a foot injury.

Monk expects the midfielder to be fit, but must decide whether to recall him to his starting line-up following three straight wins in his absence. Leeds have won four successive matches in all competitions.

Fellow midfielder Ronaldo Vieira is also expected to return to the squad after the teenager missed Saturday's home win against Ipswich due to a knock.

Defender Gaetano Berardi, yet to feature this season, was scheduled to continue his recovery from a calf injury with the club's under-23s on Monday.
