Leeds United v Cardiff City team news: Kemar Roofe fit to face Neil Warnock's visitors

Leeds United winger Kemar Roofe was sent for a scan earlier this week

Roofe became injured during United's 2-1 win at Blackburn Rovers last mid-week and missed Sunday's clash at Huddersfield Town as a result.

But the Whites attacker has since undergone a scan which came back clear, leaving Taylor as United's only absentee for Saturday afternoon's Elland Road clash with Cardiff.

Left back Taylor injured his Achilles in the Elland Road league fixture against Brentford on December 17 but head coach Garry Monk envisages that the defender will return to training just week.

"It's just Charlie," said Monk, asked about any injuries ahead of Saturday's clash with Cardiff.
