Leeds United striker Kemar Roofe.

The 26-year-old has missed United's last eight games after suffering knee ligament damage in the victory over Swansea City at Elland Road in mid-February.

Roofe, who has bagged 14 goals and two assists this season, will provide a welcome boost to Marcelo Bielsa's squad for the run-in with seven games to go.

Leeds are set to be without defender Barry Douglas for the rest of the campaign after the left-back underwent surgery to repair a ruptured medial ligament picked up in the win over Millwall last Saturday.

Kiko Casilla is expected to return in goal in place of Bailey Peacock-Farrell for the trip to St Andrew's after serving a one-match ban for his sending off against Sheffield United before the international break.

Adam Forshaw also made his comeback to the first-team squad last time out following a lengthy lay-off and is expected to be involved once again.

Izzy Brown is also available for selection after the Whites head coach revealed a slight knock prevented his inclusion last weekend against the Lions.

Bielsa issued an update over his squad's health ahead of the Blues clash: "(Kemar) Roofe is healthy.

"He couldn't play with the Under-23s because there was no game but he will be with the squad.
