Daniel Farke’s Whites saw their nine-game winning league run ended in Saturday’s Yorkshire derby at Huddersfield which ended in a 1-1 draw despite the Terriers playing the whole second half with ten men. The result ultimately knocked Leeds out of the division’s second automatic promotion place as the Whites were overtaken by Ipswich Town through a 2-0 win for the Tractor Boys at Plymouth Argyle. But Leeds won’t have to wait long in a bid to regain the winning thread with relegation-battling Stoke heading for Elland Road for a Tuesday night clash under the LS11 lights. Steven Schumacher’s Potters boosted their survival hopes at the weekend with a 2-0 triumph at home to Middlesbrough but both Leeds and Stoke have a fair share of players out or doubtful. Here, we run through the injuries from both camps.
7. Enda Stevens (doubtful)
Experienced left back Stevens has been out since the middle of December due to a calf injury which was followed by a hamstring strain but boss Steven Schumacher revealed last week that Stevens was at least now back on the grass and running. The 33-year-old was not part of the matchday squad for the weekend's win against Boro. Photo: Jess Hornby
8. Ryan Mmaee (doubtful)
Morocco international Mmaee had been having treatment for a knee injury but he too was reported last week to be back on the grass and running but not with the main group. The 26-year-old had been demoted to the under-21 but Schumacher revealed last week that there had since been a "good chat" and that Mmaee had "expressed what he can now do to make an impact with the team."
