Leeds United are on the road again this weekend with Bournemouth their hosts on Saturday afternoon. The Whites drew 0-0 at Sunderland last time out and have had a full week to train and prepare for their trip to the Vitality Stadium.
That full training week has been useful for Leeds, who travelled to the Stadium of Light last weekend with a few fresh injury doubts. All three of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Noah Okafor and Anton Stach played a part eventually but one remains a doubt.
Hosts Bournemouth also have a few fitness issues to manage, most notably Alex Scott who has been out of action for several weeks. Below, the YEP rounds up the latest injury and team news from both sides ahead of Saturday’s south coast clash.
7. OUT: Joe Rodon
This weekend will mark nine weeks since Rodon pulled up with a hamstring injury at Brentford, which is around the time his initial return was pencilled in. Farke had positive news on Friday regarding the Welshman, who had been part-integrated back into team training although Bournemouth on Saturday will come too soon. | Getty Images
8. DOUBT: Anton Stach
Stach was one of three Leeds doubts for last weekend due to a foot issue, the German fit enough only for the bench and a 66th-minute introduction. Farke revealed on Friday the midfielder was still struggling with the injury and remains a 'question mark' for Saturday. | AFP via Getty Images
9. BACK: Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Calvert-Lewin was another doubt for Sunday's clash at Sunderland due to a bruised foot but he came through 85 minutes at the Stadium of Light. As confirmed by Farke on Friday, he trained all week and so should be good to go. | Getty Images
10. BACK: Noah Okafor
Okafor appeared by far the biggest Leeds doubt last weekend due to adductor problems but he also made the bench and was introduced alongside Stach. Like Calvert-Lewin, he's trained well this week and Farke confirmed on Friday he should be okay to feature. | AFP via Getty Images
11. BACK: Dan James
James was available for selection at Sunderland having had his first full week of training since recovering from a back injury but was not selected to be part of the matchday squad. Speaking on Friday, Farke confirmed the winger had been in training all week again but with a small number of injury issues he needs to make decisions. | Getty Images
12. BACK: Nico Elvedi
Elvedi was a surprise absence from the matchday squad at Sunderland due to what was later revealed as illness. The key man has recovered and been back in training, making him available for the weekend. | Peter Tarry/PA Wire
