Daniel Farke provided a wholly positive update on the state of his Leeds United squad ahead of Saturday’s game against Brentford. The Whites welcome Keith Andrews’ side to Elland Road for a huge clash under the lights this weekend knowing victory would pull them six points clear of relegation - for the night, at least.
Leeds have been without Noah Okafor since mid-February and after returning to training last week, the winger suffered a small setback and missed Crystal Palace. But Farke had a more encouraging update in his pre-Brentford press conference. Gabriel Gudmundsson is definitely out, however.
Brentford suffered a fresh potential blow during their draw against Wolves on Monday night. Below, the YEP rounds up all the latest injury news from both sides ahead of a mammoth Elland Road clash.

8. OUT: Gabriel Gudmundsson
The Leeds left-back will sit out Saturday's game through suspension, following his controversial dismissal at Crystal Palace. Referee Thomas Bramall had seemingly forgotten an initial booking when brandishing a second yellow for just Gudmundsson's second foul of the game. | AFP via Getty Images

10. BACK: Noah Okafor
Was looking at two to four weeks out with a hamstring injury but after returning to training for one session last week, the winger reported some hip problems. But Farke revealed a positive update on his Swiss winger this week. | Getty Images
11. BACK: Noah Okafor
Farke said: Better. "Back in team training since the beginning of the week. Obviously he’s been out several weeks to question is how many minutes he’s got in the tank but he’s available. Everyone is available, no one out injured. A good situation to be in going into the March international break." | Getty Images
