At his press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Farke reeled off a list of players doubtful for Friday's trip to Watford including international trio Willy Gnonto, Ilia Gruev and Connor Roberts. All three picked up injuries whilst representing their countries over March's break from club football, which could limit Farke's options against the Hornets.
Leeds remain without the likes of Stuart Dallas and Pascal Struijk - the latter now ruled out for the season after undergoing groin surgery. Meanwhile, Georginio Rutter is a only possibility to be involved following his own minor surgical procedure on a sports hernia.
Junior Firpo's circuitous route back from South America, where he won the second of his first two caps for the Dominican Republic in Peru, could force Farke into recalling Jamie Shackleton from the cold, although there is every chance the German sticks with his preferred left-back in 2024, despite the jet-lag Firpo may well be suffering from.
Here is Leeds' predicted line-up to face Watford.
7. CM - Glen Kamara
Alongside Gray will be fresh-legged Finn, Glen Kamara, who sat out Finland's second fixture of the international break. | Bruce Rollinson
8. RW - Dan James
James may well need his spirits lifted after missing the decisive spot-kick in Wales' Euro 2024 play-off shootout, but his 19 goal contributions this season at club level have been absolutely vital - long may it continue. | Jonathan Gawthorpe
9. LW - Crysencio Summerville
Fresh from a 12-day break from action and ankle-taps by opposition defenders, Summerville will be raring to go this weekend. | Jonathan Gawthorpe
10. CF - Joel Piroe
Georginio Rutter's availability, or lack thereof, from the start could mean a rare start for Piroe in this second half of the season. | Jonathan Gawthorpe
11. ST - Patrick Bamford
Like Summerville, Bamford has had plenty of rest over the international break and will be keen to attack the final eight games whilst playing a starring role, starting with Watford. | Jonathan Gawthorpe
