The Whites no 9 was set to continue his recent run of starts in Tuesday night's clash at Swansea City but reported some discomfort in the warm up and was replaced by Joel Piroe in the team. Boss Daniel Farke revealed post-match that the issue was a knee problem but that Bamford's first reaction was that the injury was not too bad. But Farke said it was difficult to tell, leading to an element of doubt about Bamford's involvement this weekend.The Whites no 9 was set to continue his recent run of starts in Tuesday night's clash at Swansea City but reported some discomfort in the warm up and was replaced by Joel Piroe in the team.

Leeds United make a quick return to Plymouth Argyle this weekend for a Saturday lunchtime kick-off – for which three players have been ruled out and five more are doubtful.

The Whites and Pilgrims will be locking horns at Home Park for the second time in the space of just 12 days having also faced each other earlier this month in the FA Cup fourth round. Leeds eventually recorded a 4-1 success after extra time, which has since been followed by league wins at home to Rotherham United and away at Swansea City. But both Leeds and Plymouth have injuries to contend with ahead of the Saturday rematch in Devon. Here, we run through the injuries from both camps ahead of the 12.30pm Championship showdown at Home Park.

The ex-Whites midfielder was prevented from facing his former side in the recent FA Cup tie due to being cup-tied and Forshaw is now an injury doubt for this weekend's league clash. Forshaw had to be taken off in last weekend's 3-1 defeat at Sunderland due to a knee issue, reportedly tweaking his medial collateral ligament in the warm-up but believing he was fine to play. Boss Ian Foster has said the Pilgrims will have to wait to see how long Forshaw would be out for but was hopeful the issue was not serious.
