Leeds v Norwich Preview
By Andy Baggott
October 19 2009
Leeds take on Norwich tonight in front of the SKY camera's, and may yet feature a new signing. Rumours of a potential doubke loan swoop are circulating, with Wolves' Sam Volkes the man on the tip of everyone's tongue. Striker Luciano Becchio is unlikely to be fit, and ex Bournmouth player Volkes would be an ideal replacement.
The other player heavily linked is Leicester wide man Max Gradel. Both are reported to have trained over the weekend with the Leeds squad, and an announcement would have to be made in the next few hours for either to feature tonight. The paperwork needed to have been submitted at Noon, so fingers crossed that one or both of these come off.
There has been little news coming out of Elland Road recently on the injured men - Goalkeeper Shane Higgs, full back Jason Crowe, and winger Robert Snodgrass have all missed recent games, along with Becchio, but the only man definitely ruled out is full back Ben Parker, who will be out until the New Year.
Norwich were one of the favourites early season, and have recovered well from a first day hammering. A draw would take Leeds top on goal difference with a game in hand, but a win would certainly put down a marker....
Game kicks off at 7.45 - check back here for updates, reports, and any breaking news on these signings...
