Joel Griffiths has picked up a shin injury on the tour but does hope to still feature on some of the pre-season programme.

Leeds United are today returning from their pre season tour of Norway. They now have a further four warm up matches before the Championship season kicks off at home to Norwich on August 5, by which time manager Kevin Blackwell hopes to have secured the signing of Millwall's David Livermore, Manchester United's Giuseppe Rossi on loan and at least one more new face.

Leeds United trailist defender Haydon Fox could be in line to earn himself a contract at Elland Road according to Manager Kevin Blackwell. Fox has been on Leeds' pre season tour to Norway and is set to continue to feature in the squad over the remaining friendlies. Blackwell says the defender could play his way into contention.

Is that true then? I thought it was just a hopeful rumour?!

I give up getting excited at rumours now. They just raise your optimism and then bring you down to earth with a crashing thud......especially when you see the name Livermore in your squad

I've seen a few articles that mention we're after him. I'll be so excited if it happens!

But then, this is Leeds United.....

[Teesside White]

Radio leeds this morning said that we might sign him by the end of the week

Lets be honest we're getting linked with so many names at the moment its unbelieveable........ if there is any truth to the Rossi rumour i'd be amazed.....

[Katiekins]

I really hope the Rossi rumour is true but i am not allowing myself to get excited over a rumour anymore!
