Leeds United are back in action on Wednesday and face another tough away day, with Millwall their midweek hosts. Daniel Farke’s side climbed into second place with Saturday’s 3-0 win at home to Plymouth Argyle and stayed there thanks to Burnley’s defeat at the Den 24 hours later.
That was a third consecutive win for Millwall, who have steadily climbed into early play-off contention and will fancy their chances at home to Leeds. Farke confirmed on Tuesday he will make ‘late decisions’ on two first-team players, while Neil Harris gave a comprehensive injury update of his own.
With all that in mind, the YEP has rounded up the latest injury and team news from both sides ahead of Wednesday’s clash.
1. Billy Mitchell - out
A thigh injury has kept the defensive midfielder from making a single appearance this season. Played 45 minutes for Millwall U21's in a 2-1 loss at Brentford on Monday, but not being rushed back and expected to miss Wednesday's game. Photo: Richard Pelham
