Steve Evans has revealed that Leeds United duo Sol Bamba and Charlie Taylor could return to action against Queens Park Rangers in the Championship tomorrow.
Bamba, who permanently joined Leeds from Italian side Palemro in the summer, missed the Whites’ 1-0 loss to Rotherham United with a toe injury; but Evans insisted that the defender will feature against QPR if needed.
“Sol will be on the team coach – he’s improving”, the manager told Leeds’ official site.
“It’s a minute hairline crack on the small toe of his non-kicking foot.
“The big man is doing everything. If we need him out there he can be.”

On the other hand, Taylor has been out of action since the start of October after suffering a bout of glandular fever.
The 22-year-old returned to training this week and even played in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Thorp Arch on Wednesday.
And Evans, who was very pleased with Taylor’s recovery, feels the youngster is well in the mix to play at Loftus Road tomorrow.
“Charlie is just incredibly fit, I don’t think he’s human”, he added.
“He came back into the fold 10 days ago and has done double sessions and single sessions. He’s worked through the pain barrier.
“He’s worked so hard and to see his recovery has been fantastic.
“He played 45 minutes in a match [behind closed doors] on Wednesday and he was as good as anything on the pitch up and down that left side.
“He’s definitely in contention for Saturday.”
Leeds, whose two-game winning streak was ended by Rotherham last weekend, are currently 16th in the Championship table with 19 points from 17 outings, 16 behind leaders Hull City.
