Beckford back for the big one
TOP scorer Jermaine Beckford will train with the Leeds United squad today and tomorrow in a bid to prove his fitness for Monday's play-off semi-final clash with Carlisle.
The 20-goal frontman has been out of action with an ankle injury, but is hopeful of returning for the first leg of the Coca-Cola League One play-off at Elland Road (7.45pm).
Whites boss Gary McAllister said the striker trained for the first time on Thursday and he is expected to be named in the starting line-up.
Tresor Kandol and Anthony Elding have both deputised for Beckford, playing alongside Dougie Freedman, as Leeds clinched their place in the top
six.
Left-back Alan Sheehan is out of the game through suspension, and Bradley Johnson could
continue in the role after standing in for last weekend's 2-1 victory over Gillingham.
Meanwhile, should United reach the play-off final at Wembley on Sunday, May 25, they will receive an allocation of 36,000 tickets, priced from £30 to £84.
