Hornets tighten relegation race
Championship basement club Leeds United are crossing their fingers that nicked flanker Eddie Lewis will be able to suit up when they travel to Cardiff on Saturday.
Fresh from a win last weekend, the Whites could climb clear out of the relegation zone with three points at the Millennium.
Lewis got the nod in the Crystal Palace win, but limped off just after the hour
"At the moment, he could well be fit (for Cardiff)," Leeds press liaison Don Waters told YA. "He had an ankle injury before the last game, but he was fit enough to play."
"Then he took a knock on the ankle (against Crystal Palace). He's receiving treatment."
The injury-hit Elland Road crew are banking on the US star's participation this weekend, but can't assure it as of yet.
"We hope so," remarked Waters. "We've had enough (absences) this season. It doesn't look like anything serious, but we'll know more tomorrow."
After helping Leeds reach the promotion final last term, Lewis has notched two goals in his second campaign with the club, with many of his 30 appearances coming at left back.
