Leeds face injury crisis ahead of Sunderland visit

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 15:33 · Archive

Leeds United may be without their entire attacking trio for Sunday's Premier League match at Sunderland.

Leeds United are confronting a possible injury crisis ahead of their Premier League match at Sunderland on Sunday. The three forwards comprised the attacking line-up in their previous game against Manchester United, but head coach Daniel Farke could be deprived of all three at the Stadium of Light.

Both Calvert-Lewin and Stach are carrying foot injuries sustained in the Manchester United match, while Okafor is battling an adductor issue. Farke expressed concern about the scale of the problem, noting that losing even one of these players would be a setback, but being without all three would represent a devastating blow given the squad's limited attacking alternatives.

The sole positive news is that Wales international Daniel James has returned to full training and is anticipated to be fit to start if called upon. Joe Rodon remains sidelined doing rehab work. Farke said: 'We have to wait a little and assess who is available for this game. Obviously, Joe Rodon is still out doing his rehab work. Our offensive players from the last game are all doubtful.'
