da dobrowin： Leeds United will have Samuel Saiz available for this evening’s Championship match against Derby County.
da supremo： The playmaker was forced to miss six games as punishment for spitting during the team’s FA Cup loss to Newport County in January.
With Saiz on the sidelines, the Whites have struggled to show flair and create ideas in the final third.
In fact, since the Spaniard’s last appearance, the team have lost four and drawn two in the Championship.
During that spell, the Yorkshire club also made a managerial change, replacing Thomas Christiansen with ex-Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom.
The club are in need of points as they have not tasted victory in the league since Boxing Day when they earned a 2-1 victory over Burton Albion away.

As it stands, Leeds are 12th in the table, eight points adrift of the playoff spots.
A win over Derby will be no easy task as the Rams are fourth, just three points behind the automatic promotion spots.
Leeds fans, though, are hopeful that Saiz will be the difference this evening.
The playmaker has scored nine goals and created five assists in 25 appearances in all competitions.
