Bridges Could Face Reds

Last updated : 08 September 2003 By Kevin Markey
Former Sunderland striker Bridges played for the final 26 minutes of the 2-0 pre-season defeat at Hull City but his last competitive appearance came against Malaga at Elland Road last December when he snapped an Achilles tendon.

Leeds will also assess the fitness of the loan signings from Marseille, Salomon Olembe and Cyril Chapuis, before deciding whether to include them too.

Brazilian defender Roque Junior is on international duty and is not due back at the training ground until the end of the week.
