Steve Evans has insisted that Leeds United are in good shape as he prepares to freshen up his team for the Championship meeting with Charlton Athletic on Saturday.
Besides Gaetano Berardi, who will play no further part for Leeds in the present campaign after picking up a ligament injury in the 2-2 draw with Hull City last weekend, the Whites have no fresh injury concerns going into the Charlton game.
Alex Mowatt is also available for selection following the completion of his three-match ban as Leeds prepare for their penultimate fixture of the present campaign.
And Evans, who expects the Addicks to cause problems for Leeds at Elland Road, explained that his side have benefitted from being without a midweek fixture for the first time in April.
“The squad’s in good shape”, the manager told the club’s official site.

“Obviously, we’ve got Alex Mowatt back available for selection after missing three games through suspension. He’s trained particularly well.
“We’re hoping that everybody is out there today who should be out there, giving us the option to freshen the team up.
“I think the one advantage we’ve had this week, after a hectic schedule, is that we’ve been free from midweek action.
“We’ve been able to give the boys an additional day off and let them be fully focused and ready to face a team who, I think, will be problematic unless we deal with them.
"We’re looking forward to it.”
Leeds, who are unbeaten in their last four Championship outings, winning three of those, are currently 12th in the standings with 58 points from 44 games.
