Leeds United team news as Premier League relegation battle goes to the wire
Injuries are piling up for Leeds United at the end of a long Premier League season - bad news for Tottenham Hotspur if they need a favour in the relegation battle.
The Whites are at West Ham United, who need three points to have any chance of staying in next season's top flight. But if they get it, Spurs will need to pick up a point at home to Everton.
Leeds are light in midfield after adding two players to their injured list this week, although their defensive situation is improving.
"I can confirm that Ilia Gruev is still out, that Gabi Gudmundsson is still out, that Noah Okafor is still out," said manager Daniel Farke.
"We have, thank God, Pascal Struijk back in training, so let's see how his body reacts, hopefully he is available. Also Jayden Bogle back in training, could be that he is perhaps available. We have to wait right now how his body reacts to this load.
"With Anton (Stach) it's a bit of mixed news – bad news that he's not available for this game, good news is it's not a major injury, he just needs to be stitched anyhow. If the game would be next Wednesday or Thursday he would be available, so it's not a major injury, just for this game it's not possible, so he will definitely miss this game.
"Also Sean Longstaff had a hernia surgery on Wednesday, so he's also not available for this game, so of course a bit tricky, but we try to find some good solutions.
"It's been tough at the back end (of the season) with some of the injuries."
Asked if there are any young players who could fill in if needed, Farke replied: "We have Ethan Ampadu, our player of the season, we have Ao Tanaka who has played there.
"We have young players who can play in this central role. Rhys Chadwick was with us, also a player who can play more or less in this spot a little bit.
"Yes we also have other players who are perhaps not in their prime position but who can perhaps also play a bit deeper. Brenden Aaronson, for example, can perhaps also play a slightly deeper although he is of course more likely to be a bit more up the pitch. Even Joe Piroe, a striker by description, has played even a bit deeper."
All games on Sunday kick off simultaneously at 4pm.
