Leeds United will look to keep momentum rolling when they travel to Everton in the Premier League next Monday. The Whites’ brilliant form continued with a 1-0 win at home to Fulham last time out, Lukas Nmecha scoring the added-time winner, and they have now lost just one of their last 10 matches across all competitions.
Saturday’s victory was all-the-more impressive given Leeds lost influential duo Anton Stach and Jaka Bijol to injury just 24 hours beforehand. The pair joined longer-term absentee Daniel James on the sidelines with the likes of James Justin and Ilia Gruev stepping up.
Everton enjoyed an impressive 1-0 win at Aston Villa on Sunday and will hope to welcome back at least two key first-team players for Leeds next week. Below, the YEP looks at the latest injury and team news from both sides ahead of that Hill Dickinson Stadium meeting.
7. BACK: Iliamn Ndiaye
Was also representing Senegal at AFCON and will fly back with his club teammate Gueye later this week. Another who will almost certainly be involved on Monday night at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. | Getty Images
8. OUT: Daniel James
The winger is still some way off returning from a hamstring tendon injury picked up at Manchester City in November. Farke did say last week the Welshman was 'not too far away from team training' but given the nature of the injury, he'll be carefully managed. Photo: Jack Thomas
9. OUT: Jaka Bijol
Was a surprise absence from the matchday squad against Fulham on Saturday, with Farke later confirming a hamstring injury. The Whites boss said after full-time his centre-back is currently expected to be out for three-to-five weeks. | Getty Images
10. DOUBT: Anton Stach
Another who missed out against Fulham, having picked up a slight adductor issue on the Friday. The midfielder's injury is thought to be less serious than Bijol, with Farke revealing hope his compatriot will be fit in time to face Everton. | Getty Images
