Leeds United have been boosted by striker Chris Wood coming through a behind-closed-doors friendly at their Thorp Arch training ground on Tuesday.
Wood managed a brief appearance off the bench for Leeds in their 2-1 win away at Blackburn Rovers at the weekend, completing a comeback from injury which had kept him out since the end of January.
Boss Steve Evans is keen to build up Wood's fitness and deployed him in a friendly game against Peterborough United on Tuesday, with the striker playing for an hour.
The New Zealand international hit the back of the net for the Whites, who lost 3-2 to the Posh. Leeds' other scorer was midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
The Whites have won three games on the bounce in the Championship, beating Bolton Wanderers, Cardiff City and Blackburn, to rise up to 13th spot in the standings and within touching distance of the top ten.

Next up for Leeds is a visit from Huddersfield Town and the Whites will be aiming to win four in a row for the first time in seven years.
Leeds will no doubt be monitoring Wood's reaction to 60 minutes of game time today and the striker will be keen to put himself in the mix to feature in the Yorkshire derby.
