Leeds United skipper Liam Cooper issues message as he returns to first-team training

Leeds United defender Liam Cooper has issued a message to supporters after being back in full training with the senior squad ahead of Friday's game against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 30-year-old has been out for over three months with a hamstring injury but could soon be in line for a return.

Cooper suffered the issue in a 2-2 draw with Brentford back in December and has been a huge miss to the Leeds back-line. Diego Llorente and Pascal Struijk have stepped up in his absence, while Robin Koch and Luke Ayling have also had to fill in when required.

The Whites have failed to keep a clean sheet since Cooper has been out of the team. They have conceded 43 goals in their last 15 matches - the most any Premier League side has shipped in that time.
