Leeds United face expected key rivals Burnley in their first game back after the international break - for which three men have already been ruled out with two more doubts.
The Whites and Clarets slugged it out for first promotion and then the Championship title last season, a battle won by Daniel Farke’s side who went up as champions on goal difference with 100 points.
Leeds have also fared better than the Clarets from the first seven games of the new Premier League season, Farke’s men sat 15th on eight points, four points clear of third-bottom Burnley.
Once the October international break is done with, the two teams will go head-to-head for the first time this season in a 3pm kick-off at Turf Moor on Saturday, October 18.
The contest could prove a key battle in both teams’ bids to survive the first season back.
There will, though, be key men missing with three players already ruled out and two more doubts although another pair are expected back.
Here, we run through the early injury news from both camps.
7. OUT: Connor Roberts
Another fresh blow for Burnley and another big one, former Leeds loanee Roberts having suffered another setback that is now expected to leave him out for the next few months. Roberts has yet to feature this season having suffered a setback in the summer. | Joe Giddens/PA Wire

8. OUT: Willy Gnonto
A fresh Leeds blow and another big one that means three wingers are now out or doubts. Gnonto missed the last three games before the international break with calf problems which are now sorted but Farke revealed on Thursday that the Italian had to use the break for a minor hernia surgery and the winger is definitely out. Farke said: "Not a major thing but he'll be just back in team training next week. I'll expect to have him back perhaps for Friday evening." | Getty Images

9. OUT: Harry Gray
Young striker Gray has been having hip flexor issues and remains out but the 17-year-old hot prospect is expected back in training next week. | Getty Images
10. SLIGHT DOUBT: Jaidon Anthony
There was no mention of Burnley's former Whites loanee Anthony being injured by Parker at his pre-match press conference but the in-form winger did take a big hit to his quad in the 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa before the international break, after which he was taken off. Presumably now fine but a slight question mark perhaps. | Getty Images
