It won’t come as a surprise to anyone that Leeds United are once again dealing with an injury crisis, as they will now be without 7 first team players for tonight’s clash at Craven Cottage.
The injuries to Robin Koch and Diego Llorente are still yet to be resolved as they will both miss tonight’s game against Fulham and are doubts for the weekend’s clash with West Ham. Pascal Struijk is also serving the 2nd game of his 3 match suspension. Luke Ayling is also unavailable following an injury towards the end of the Newcastle game.
Further forward, the injury issues persist. Jack Harrison is not cleared to return following a positive Covid 19 test that ruled him out of Friday’s game with Newcastle. Raphinha is also expected to not feature following a hip injury sustained against Newcastle. Finally, Patrick Bamford will also not feature as he was spotted with a bandage around his right ankle yesterday.
With all of these first team players ruled out of the carabao cup game, we expect a fair share of the Under 23s will be making an appearance.
