Leeds United will sign off for the November international break with Saturday’s visit of Tottenham Hotspur - for which blows have left seven players out and four others doubtful but with three others now back.
Leeds and Tottenham are approaching Saturday’s 12.30pm kick-off at Elland Road in very different form, Roberto De Zerbi’s Spurs side having now won three games in a row.
Saturday evening’s 2-0 win at home to Crystal Palace lifted Tottenham up to eighth, one point and three places above Leeds who have dropped to 11th after Saturday afternoon’s 2-0 loss at Bournemouth.
Defeat on the south coast marked just a second league loss of the season for Leeds although Daniel Farke’s side have now gone five games without a victory.
Leeds were also dealt a fresh injury blow ahead of the weekend’s trip to Bournemouth, adding to a list of key men either doubtful or out ahead of the visit of Spurs.
Tottenham, though, have a lot of players out themselves, despite a pair returning for the weekend’s visit of Palace.
Here, we run through the combined injury news from both camps combined which totals seven out and four others doubtful but three others now back.
