Fresh injury news has been provided for Leeds United’s return to action at Crystal Palace - for which just one player is now out as key men return but with doubts over four others.
The two sides are having very different approaches to Sunday’s 2pm kick-off at Selhurst Park, ahead of which Palace are in action just three days earlier with Thursday night’s Europa Conference League clash at home to AEK Larnaca.
That, though, will present Palace’s first fixture in a week, the Eagles having had the weekend off by virtue of being out of the FA Cup and having not played since last Thursday evening’s Premier League clash at Tottenham Hotspur.
Conversely, Leeds have had a free midweek on the back of Sunday’s 3-0 win at home to Norwich City in the FA Cup fifth round.
Fresh injury news has now been provided ahead of Sunday’s clash at Selhurst Park and, here, we run through the current state of play on the injury and suspension fronts from both camps.
7. DOUBT: Cheick Doucoure
Palace's Malian midfielder Doucoure tore his meniscus in January of last year and went under the knife. The 26-year-old bagged his first minutes in over a year when playing for the club's under-21s on Friday but clearly remains a doubt as far as first team matters are concerned. | Getty Images

8. DOUBT: Noah Okafor
Okafor was thought to be facing two to four weeks out with the hamstring injury suffered in the fourth round FA Cup clash at Birmingham City in the middle of last month. Whites boss Farke said at last Friday's pre-Norwich press conference that Okafor was still out but, without adding any sort of updated timeframe. Hard to know where he is at. | Getty Images

9. SLIGHT DOUBT: Sebastiaan Bornauw
Versatile Belgian defender Bornauw was handed just his eighth start for Leeds in Sunday's FA Cup tie against Norwich but Bornauw was brought off at the break, Farke revealing afterwards that the defender had not been feeling 100 per cent over the last few days. | AFP via Getty Images

10. SLIGHT QUESTION MARK: Joe Rodon
Whites centre-back Rodon was also missing from Sunday's matchday squad, Farke highlighting how he had only just come back from his hamstring problems experienced in the 1-0 defeat at home to Manchester City and was therefore not risked. Farke said post match: "With Joe Rodon it was from my side a bit precautious because he was struggling before the game on Tuesday a bit with hamstring problems so I didn't want to take the risk today. He has played many, many minutes, I wanted to give him a little break." | AFP via Getty Images
