Reports indicate that striker Pablo Couñago will return to the starting line-up at Leeds on Saturday. The Blues have been short of goals on their travels of late, having failed to net from open play in their last four away league games.
The Spaniard has been left out of tonight's reserve game with Chelsea which TWTD suggested earlier might indicate the former Celta Vigo man's return to Joe Royle's side.
Couñago has made only three league starts this season, the most recent at Watford in October, but impressed as a late sub in the 2-2 draw with Sunderland on Sunday.
Shefki Kuqi, without a goal in six league games, looks likely to make way for the former Spain U21 international who looks certain to be released in the summer.
