Eunan O'Kane could make Leeds debut against Huddersfield

Leeds' new loan signing Eunan O'Kane will be hoping to make his debut for the club in the home game against derby rivals Huddersfield.

O'Kane, signed for an undisclosed fee from Bournemouth on deadline day, has returned from international duty with the Republic of Ireland and is expected to feature.

Head coach Garry Monk, who has no new injury or suspension problems following his side's 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest before the international break, must decide who will wear the captain's armband following Sol Bamba's departure.

Full-back Gaetano Berardi remains Monk's only injury absentee, with the Swiss sidelined by a hamstring problem.

Huddersfield head coach David Wagner will check on Aaron Mooy's fitness following his return from international duty with Australia.

Midfielder Mooy, signed on loan from Manchester City in the summer, played in both Australia's World Cup qualifiers.

Forward Joe Lolley is still out after missing the last two games with a foot injury, but Wagner will otherwise select from a full-strength squad.

Midfielders Jack Payne and Dean Whitehead, plus forwards Harry Bunn and Sean Scannell are among those pushing for recalls as leaders Town chase their best-ever start to a season.
