Fresh Leeds United injury and suspensions list reveals six possible absentees vs Crystal Palace

Leeds could be missing as many as six first-team players this weekend as the Whites visit Selhurst Park where they will take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Confirmed absentees Stuart Dallas [femoral fracture], Archie Gray [toe] and Luis Sinisterra [suspension] will all miss out in south London, while three others could also be absent from Jesse Marsch’s matchday squad.

"Archie Gray had an incident at home where he stubbed his toe and he kind of fractured a little bit of his big toe,” Marsch said before last weekend’s clash with Aston Villa.

"He's been out of training for about two weeks and he'll be out for probably another two weeks.”

"Stuart is making really good recovery. He went down to see a specialist and they're feeling like he's doing really well and on track. Obviously, it'll still be some time for him,” Marsch added, on Dallas’ progress.

In addition, Adam Forshaw, Cody Drameh and Leo Hjelde could all be left out of Marsch’s plans due to a combination of knocks, sprains and sickness.

"Adam Forshaw twisted his ankle this week and it's not so bad, but he won't be available this weekend,” Marsch stated prior to last Sunday’s Elland Road stalemate.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday evening, Under-21s’ head coach Michael Skubala said Cody Drameh would be assessed the following morning after being withdrawn with a knock late on in Leeds’ 5-3 Papa John’s Trophy win over Tranmere Rovers.

Norwegian defender Leo Hjelde missed that fixture entirely with a stomach bug and remains a doubt for this weekend’s fixture having also missed last weekend at home to Steven Gerrard’s Villa.

At Under-21 level, centre-back Jeremiah Mullen and versatile left-sided player Keenan Carole both remain out with knee injuries.
