Leeds United could have club captain Alan Thompson back for their match at home to Crewe on Saturday.
The 34-year-old's loan spell at Hartlepool United runs out on Friday and he could make a shock appearance at Elland Road the following day.

The former Celtic midfielder will be available for Hartlepool's encounter with Northampton on Friday evening.

Thompson was sent on loan by ex-Leeds manager Dennis Wise and has made six appearances for Pools, scoring once.

Meanwhile Scott Gardner's loan spell at Blue Square Premier club Farsley Celtic will come to an end after this weekend's game at Exeter.

Gardner has made three appearances for Jon Deacy's side to date

Veteran midfielder Alan Thompson has returned to training with Leeds following his loan at Hartlepool United.

It was Dennis the un-Wise that sent Thompson on loan following a period of bench warming for the former Celtic and Aston Villa midfielder and with Leeds United struggling, new boss Gary McAllister has opted to bring Thommo back to Elland Road.

On Thompson’s first day back at the clubs Thorp Arch training ground, manager Mac said

“We've got Alan Thompson back.”

“He's been in decent form at Hartlepool, we're looking forward to working with him, and hopefully he can bring something extra.”

Leeds manager Gary McAllister hopes Alan Thompson's return to Elland Road can help kickstart the club's play-off push.

Thompson played the last of his seven games on loan for Hartlepool on Friday, while Leeds have failed to win any of their last seven league matches and have slipped to ninth place.

McAllister said: "We've got Alan Thompson back. He's been in decent form at Hartlepool, we're looking forward to working with him, and hopefully he can bring something extra."

McAllister is also hoping Neil Kilkenny can also boost his midfield in time for next Saturday's trip to Swindon.

The Australia international, a free transfer window signing from Oldham, has missed the last four matches due to an Achilles injury.
