Shaun Derry is hoping to get back into the action this week after missing out on Leeds United's trip to Scandinavia.

The midfield dynamo was suffering with a sore toe and took advantage of the chance to spend more time with his new baby but now he is hoping to be ready to play at Hartlepool on Saturday.

With Liam Miller and Jonathan Douglas having returned to their clubs after their loans, the Leeds midfield is looking lightweight and they have still to reach an agreement with Millwall's £600,000-rated David Livermore.

While the clubs have agreed a fee, negotiations on the player's personal terms won't get underway until later today.
