Aidan Sezer, the club’s only experienced scrum-half, is ruled out because of injury, alongside forward James Bentley.
In more positive news, winger David Fusitu’a and back-rower James McDonnell could return, but three-quarter Nene Macdonald remains in Australia on paternity leave.
Here’s how Leeds could line up in a game they have to win to keep faint top-six hopes alive.
