O'Brien doubt for Leeds

31 January 2011 19:30
Leeds could hand a late fitness test to central defender Andy O'Brien ahead of the clash at Hull. O'Brien missed the 2-2 draw at Portsmouth after sustaining a hamstring injury in the FA Cup defeat to Arsenal and remains doubtful. Leigh Bromby is expected to deputise alongside Alex Bruce if O'Brien fails to make it. Striker Sanchez Watt is also doubtful, struggling with hamstring and back problems since being replaced by Davide Somma at Portsmouth. Midfielder Neil Kilkenny is scheduled to return from Asian Cup duty with Australia on Monday afternoon but is unlikely to be rushed back into the squad. He made four appearances during the tournament for the Socceroos, who lost out to Japan 1-0 after extra-time in the final. Manager Simon Grayson has no other new injury or suspension worries.
