Leeds United will reportedly have summer signing Rasmus Kristensen back from an injury knock to face Nottingham Forest next Monday night.
The right-back had played every minute of Leeds ' first five Premier League matches of the season before being ruled out of the squad to face Brentford this weekend. Head coach Jesse Marsch revealed after their defeat in west London that Kristensen picked up the injury right at the end of their final training session.
In the Denmark international's absence from the side, Leeds shipped five goals against the Bees in what was only their second defeat of the season and also just the second game that they have conceded twice or more so far this campaign. Cody Drameh replaced Kristensen on the right side of the defence.

Luke Ayling came on for the England under-21 international for the final 20 minutes in what was his first appearance of the season after returning from a knee injury which required surgery and has seen him sidelined since May. Kristensen could, though, ease those selection dilemmas for Marsch with a return reportedly on the cards according to The Athletic's Phil Hay, who has claimed the 25-year-old should be back to face the Reds at Elland Road on Monday week.
