Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch will have a near full-strength team to choose from for his side's FA Cup fourth round replay against Cardiff City.
A 93rd minute goal from Sonny Perkins saved Leeds' blushes during the 2-2 draw at the Cardiff City Stadium. The Whites, who have been knocked out in the third round of the tournament in the last five successive seasons, will now be looking to take full advantage of the lifeline they have been handed in the cup.
New signing Georginio Rutter will be ineligible for the replay as he was not registered as a Leeds player before the initial game in Wales. The 20-year-old could well make his debut against Brentford this weekend, with fans eager to see their new record signing in action as soon as a possible.

Despite being injured for the first game, Patrick Bamford has now returned to fitness and is set to be part of the matchday squad to take on the Bluebirds. The striker scored a late consolation goal during the 2-1 to defeat to Aston Villa last Friday and will be chomping at the bit to show Marsch that he deserves a chance in the starting XI.
Club captain Liam Cooper recovered from a glute injury to play at Villa Park but has since picked up a knee-injury that has made him a doubt for Wednesday night's game. Marsch has confirmed that he will make a decision on the day but that it could prove 'difficult' for the centre-back to be involved.
Meanwhile there is better news for Luis Sinisterra who looks set to return to action for the club after a lengthy lay-off with injury. The Leeds manager confirmed that the Colombian trained with the squad and although not guaranteed, has a real chance of featuring against the Championship team.
Full Leeds United squad to face Cardiff City: Illan Meslier, Joel Robles, Kristoffer Klaesson, Luke Ayling, Pascal Struijk, Liam Cooper, Junior Firpo, Rasmus Kristensen, Diego Llorente, Robin Koch, Max Wober, Cody Drameh, Marc Roca, Tyler Adams, Darko Gyabi, Sam Greenwood, Brenden Aaronson, Wilfried Gnonto, Jack Harrison, Joe Gelhardt, Rodrigo, Luis Sinisterra, Patrick Bamford.
