Richard Cresswell returned to action for the first time since May when he featured in a behind-closed-doors game against Doncaster Rovers at Thorp Arch on Wednesday afternoon.
Cressy, who has undergone two knee operations since February, played the opening 45 minutes of the 1-1 draw with Rovers and came through unscathed. United caretaker manager John Carver said: "I was delighted with his fitness, his attitude and his willingness to run. "He did some good things and he got 45 minutes in which was very important. I had a chat with him afterwards and he's feeling good." The game also featured Polish international midfielder Bartosz Karwan, who is currently on trial with the club. Rui Marques and Seb Carole were also given a run-out while Jermaine Beckford scored United's goal as honours ended even. http://www.leedsunited.com/page/NewsroomDetail/0,,10273~903980,00.html New trialist arrives Wed, Sep 27 2006 15:20 John Carver is running the rule over goalkeeper Shwan Jalal of Conference side Woking after handing him a trial spell at Elland Road. The 23-year-old started out at Tottenham before dropping out of the League in 2004, and has earned rave reviews for his displays. An England semi-professional international, Jalal will hope to earn a permanent contract with the Whites should he impress the caretaker boss. http://www.eatsleepsport.com/news_details.aspx?story_id=427672&l_id=2&t_id=4 0 _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
