Eurosport - Fri, 23 Oct 15:18:00 2009

Leeds central defender Patrick Kisnorbo will return to the squad for the League One clash at Millwall.

The Australia international missed Monday night's win over Norwich due to illness, but has since returned to training and could give manager Simon Grayson a selection headache.

Skipper Richard Naylor and Leigh Bromby were partnered at the heart of defence against Norwich and impressed the Leeds boss, while Lubo Michalik is also in contention.

Loan pair Sam Vokes (Wolves) and Max Gradel (Leicester) will be hoping to pick up where they left off on Monday after making their debuts.

But goalkeeper Shane Higgs is a big doubt after suffering a recurrence of his thigh injury against Norwich, so Casper Ankergren will start.

Luciano Becchio (ankle), Ben Parker (hamstring), Andy Robinson (hamstring) and Rui Marques (Achilles) remain sidelined.

Millwall boss Kenny Jackett could name an unchanged side for the visit of the leaders.

The Lions are still without defenders Darren Ward (knee), Zak Whitbread (hip), Pat O'Connor (cruciate), Danny Senda (Achilles) and Andy Frampton (ankle) - who is also suspended.

Midfielder Ali Fuseini is also expected to miss out again with a knee injury so Jackett is set to stick with the side which thumped Stockport 4-0 last weekend.

Skipper Paul Robinson made his first start in the league since January at Edgeley Park following his foot and ankle injuries and came through the 90 minutes unscathed.

Club record goalscorer Neil Harris grabbed his second hat-trick of the season and will again start alongside Steve Morison.
