Leeds United welcome Chelsea to Elland Road on Wednesday evening for their first midweek Premier League game of the season. The Whites could climb out of the relegation zone with a result but will need to arrest a four-game losing streak that has piled pressure on Daniel Farke.
The Whites boss held his pre-game press conference on Tuesday and provided a comprehensive update on the state of his squad. Unfortunately, there was bad news regarding winger Daniel James but more positive updates on the likes of Anton Stach, Sebastiaan Bornauw and Karl Darlow.
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has also spoken with the media ahead of Wednesday’s Elland Road trip and will be without some key players. Below, the YEP has rounded up all the latest injury information from both sides going into the game.

Farke said on Darlow on Thursday: "Last week he had problems with his adductor. He missed team training last week and was not able to travel. Seems to be sorted so I hope he’s available for this game. Was just due to a small injury, back in training today." Photo: Stu Forster
