TEAM NEWS Leeds United and Brighton and Hove Albion meet at Elland Road this weekend with Leeds head coach Uwe Rosler having an almost fully fit squad to pick from. Lewis Cook, Stuart Dallas and Jordan Botaka are all back at Elland Road unscathed after being away on international duty. Gaetano Berardi is back in training after limping out of the defeat to Birmingham City last time out and he is available. Midfielder Tommaso Bianchi is closing in on a return having missed the season so far with a knee injury. Leeds will be without reserve goalkeeper Ross Turnbull after he broke an ankle last week. Young American goalkeeper Charlie Horton is expected to be named amongst the substitutes. Brighton look set to be without Kazenga Lua Lua once again. The winger recently returned to training following injury but manager Chris Hughton isn`t ready to risk him. Jamie Murphy is once again missing for Brighton as he serves the second of a three-match suspension.
