Leeds team news

Centre-back Joe Rodon remains out with the hamstring injury suffered in August’s draw at home to Brentford but winger Dan James could return from a back injury.

The winger suffered the injury whilst away on international duty with Wales, the attacker then ruled out of last weekend’s return to Premier League action at Arsenal.

James, though, was back on the pitch with his Leeds teammates on Thursday and could be back available today depending on how his body reacts.

Attackers Harry Wilson and Jean-Matteo Bahoya returned from injuries with minutes from the bench at Arsenal and both players trained as normal this week.

Predicted Leeds line-up: Trafford; Bogle, Justin, Elvedi, Muharemovic, Gudmunddson; Ampadu, Tanaka, Stach; Okafor, Calvert-Lewin.
