Final injury news has been provided for Leeds United’s clash against arch rivals Manchester United at Elland Road on Sunday - for which updates have now left ten players out or doubtful but with an international now joining five men back.
The contest offers Leeds a chance to record a first win at Elland Road against the Red Devils since 2002, six months on from April’s historic 2-1 win at Old Trafford which marked a first league win at the ground since 1981.
Both teams, though, have key men either out or doubtful for the contest, the final updates on the team news fronts provided by Whites boss Daniel Farke and his opposite number Michael Carrick at Friday’s press conferences.
Here, we provide the final injury news from both camps combined which totals six out and four more doubtful but five others now back.

8. OUT: Benjamin Sesko
Red Devils striker Sesko has been experiencing pain in his shin - the forward missing his side's last three games - and Carrick seemed to suggest on Friday that he was still out. Carrick said: "Ben's kind of still going undergoing a couple of kind of checks that we're really trying to— before we kind of update on timelines of everything, we're just trying to be clear with what that looks like, so he's still a little bit further away, but when we know a little bit more, we'll let you know." | Getty Images
9. OUT: Joe Rodon
Leeds centre-back Rodon remains out with the hamstring injury suffered in the 1-1 draw at home to Brentford on August 30 which was expected to keep him out for eight to ten weeks. He is, though, continuing to make good progress. Farke said on Friday: "Joe will still miss his game. We spoke at the beginning of this injury. It would last eight to 10 weeks. I think we are right now on week seven so he is edging closer. He is doing good progress with his rehab work so it won’t be too long until he is back in team training but not yet, and for that also not in contention for this upcoming game.” | Getty Images

10. OUT: Mateo Joseph
Young Leeds striker Joseph is a long term injury absentee as he works his way back from an ACL injury but in any case whether he is seen as an option when he returns remains to be seen following his return from last season on loan at RCD Mallorca. | Getty Images
11. BACK: Harry Wilson
Summer Whites signing Wilson suffered a quad injury just before the international break which led to him missing the goalless draw at home to Crystal Palace and then puling out of the Wales squad for the September and October Nations League games. Wilson, though, made the bench ay Arsenal where he came on as a second-half sub and Farke said on Friday that he had trained as normal this week. | Getty Images

Another summer signing, Bahoya suffered an ankle injury playing for France's under-21s during the international break but the young winger made the bench at Arsenal where he was brought on in the closing stages.
