Leeds have been flying high in the Championship this season and sit top of the pile heading into this weekend’s tough clash with Aston Villa.
Sat six points clear of third-placed West Brom, the Peacocks are guaranteed to occupy a spot in the automatic promotion positions for Christmas but the club are determined to retain their position for the festive holidays.
One player who will not be in action though is injured captain Liam Cooper, who has started his road to recovery but will not feature. However, fans will have an opportunity to see him at another sporting event in the near future.
Josh Warrington has announced that Cooper will join him in the ring walk on Saturday ahead of his fight with Carl Frampton at the Manchester Arena, which earned a number of responses from Leeds fans on social media.
We have gathered some of their comments below.
Class that coops👌
