Leeds United could be boosted by the return of three injured players for the rearranged game against Nottingham Forest.
The game was originally due to be played on Monday (September 12) but has been postponed due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. A new date for the fixture has yet to be confirmed, but could contribute to a fixture build-up ahead of November's World Cup.
Leeds have three key players currently out with serious injuries, and all three would have missed the game had it gone ahead on Monday. But they could be back to full fitness for the rearranged clash, if it takes place in October or later.

Striker Rodrigo is out with a shoulder injury, from which Jesse Marsch has said they are "targeting" a return after the international break.
Junior Firpo, the former Barcelona left-back, would also have missed the original clash having picked up a knee injury in pre-season. He returned to training last week and would not have been fit in time, but Leeds will be boosted by his return when they play Forest.
The third injured player, and the only one over whom there is some doubt for the rearranged game, is winger Stuart Dallas. He broke his leg in a tackle with Jack Grealish back in April.
He was initially ruled out for six months, which would take him to October, but he will then need to build up match fitness after what has been a long and complicated rehab process.
