Ilia Gruev and Connor Roberts are both with the Leeds United squad for the game against Coventry on Saturday, 6 April.

The duo were doubts for Daniel Farke's side but they have travelled with the team and now it remains to be seen if they are named in the eleven.

Daniel Farke will name his side at 2 pm and will eye a return to the top of the Championship table with Willy Gnonto also with the team.

Via Twitter, Yorkshire Evening Post's Joe Donnohue wrote, "Ilia Gruev is with the LUFC squad today. So is Connor Roberts."

The Athletic's Phil Hay then wrote: "Roberts and Gnonto also in town but on the basis of what Farke said about the timeframes for their comebacks, assuming they've come along for the banter."

Leeds share footage of all three players arriving on Twitter.

Leeds United in good spirits

Leeds are undoubtedly in good spirits and by the looks of things, near full strength for the game.

They will be looking to pick up the three points and target 18 for the next six games as they'll be aiming to finish in the top two.

A few months ago, this would've seemed like a pipedream but it is the reality now and Farke will be looking to make it happen.

He is somewhat of an expert in terms of getting teams promoted into the Premier League as he's achieved it twice with Norwich.

Hopefully, the Whites have what it takes to get the job done away to Coventry and it's not going to be easy so it's imperative that they start the game strongly.

The travelling support will undoubtedly play their part in the contest and a bright start could see them buzzing right from the off.
