Leeds United v Blackburn Rovers injury news with 8 out and star doubtful but pair back

Leeds United’s fourth last game in the club’s promotion hunt comes at home to Blackburn Rovers – for which eight players have been ruled out with another doubtful.

Farke’s promotion-chasing side were held to a goalless draw by Tuesday night’s visitors Sunderland, a result which kept United’s automatic promotion destiny out of their own hands with just four games left. Leeds, though, then received a big boost the following night as Ipswich Town blew a chance to kick three points clear of the third-placed Whites as they too were held to a goalless draw at home to Watford.

Leeds are consequently now just one point behind both second-placed Ipswich and leaders Leicester City – the latter of whom have played one game less and visit Plymouth Argyle tonight. Leeds will then take on relegation-battling Blackburn at LS11 in a 12.30pm kick-off on Saturday lunchtime, but several players are either out or doubtful. Here, we run through the injuries from both camps.
