Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch believes Liam Cooper will be fit to play against Chelsea on Wednesday night. Cooper has missed the last two matches after pulling out in the warmup of the Manchester City game 10 days ago.
The Leeds captain was in contention for the trip to Arsenal on Sunday, however Jesse Marsch opted against risking him. Cooper, though, has taken part in more training earlier this week, with the pain in his knee having eased, meaning he is set to be available tomorrow night.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Marsch said: “Liam Cooper last time I said he would be ready, trained day before and had small reaction leading to the match and we felt it was prudent he does not push himself with the possibility we could lose him. I believe, he trained a bit yesterday, after that and now into this next phase he is better. I believe he will be available. Day by day.”
