The striker sustained a ruptured knee ligament injury during the 3-1 win over Derby in September at Elland Road.

However, the 29-year-old former Preston frontman is now back in training and looks set to return earlier than had been scheduled.

Cresswell told Leeds' official website: "It feels like a really long time since I last played.

"It's the worst thing as a professional footballer to be out injured and not able to do anything, so hopefully I can continue to get stronger and maybe in the next week or two I can come back."
